Defense Money Starts Moving

The Senate Defense Approps Subcommittee will mark up its spending bill tomorrow, and the full Senate Appropriations Committee is expected to take it up the measure on Thursday.

Simultaneously, the Senate will start the week with debate on dozens of amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which will be on the floor all week — the Senate is expected to wrap up its work on cybersecurity legislation.  The effort, might all be for naught if Senate Democrats decide to filibuster the bill and have a similar fight to what happened on the House side, when the House considered their version of the NDAA.

On the House side, the Defense Appropriations bill will be on the floor beginning Wednesday. The House passed its version of the authorization bill in mid-May.
