The House and Senate Armed Services committees advanced the $886 billion National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal 2024, each drafting their own version of next year’s defense bill at the end of June.
The Republican-led House Committee members cleared the legislation in a bipartisan effort, with a 58-1 vote on June 22, possibly heading to the full House floor next week for debate. According to a press release, the Committee on Rules can meet during the week of July 10 for floor consideration of the bill.Rep.
The Senate Armed Services Committee, which voted 24-1 to advance their NDAA bill on June 23, said they considered 445 amendments and adopted 286 of them during the subcommittee and full committee markups of the legislation in a press statement. The Biden administration’s plan, which increased the budget by around 3% from fiscal 2023, would bolster the “civilian workforce as a critical contributor to the Nation’s security” and “upgrade capabilities by redirecting resources to cutting-edge technologies in high-priority platforms.”
"I’m pushing for a greater investment in cybersecurity, AI, quantum computing, space, and naval superiority in the Pacific," Khanna said."Instead of overpaying defense contractors, we should be making investments in technology to strengthen our national security and prepare our military for the threats Russia and China pose in the 21st century."
Rep. Matt Gaetz launched several amendments to the bill, some of which included reducing aid to Ukraine, a move the Florida representative has supported in Congress in the past. Gaetz introduced an amendment to create an independent inspector general to oversee Ukraine aid, according to a press release.
