White House Issues Veto Threat on House FY16 Defense Approps Bill

The White House issued a Statement of Administrative Policy (SAP) recommending a veto of the House’s FY16 Defense appropriations bill today. The House is considering the FY16 Defense appropriations on the Floor currently. This is not the first veto threat for a House appropriations bill this year. The SAP cites the inappropriate use of the Overseas Contingency Operating fund as a primary driver in the decision. That concern was previously raised during the House NDAA consideration.
