.@HASCDemocrats started off adopting an en bloc package of amendments to the Tactical Air and Land Forces mark. They quickly moved on to adopt an en bloc package to Intel/Special ops. Now considering the Seapower mark.
HASC has flown through tactical air/land, intel/special ops, seapower, cyber, & now they're discussing a Speier amdt to expand contraceptive coverage for servicemembers.
Hopefully, we'll soon see the details of the en bloc packages adopted thus far on the Committee Repository.
The committee just finished marking up subcommittee marks. Onto the chairman's mark!
HASC adopted the first en bloc package of amendments to the chairman's mark. They're now discussing Rep. Golden's amendment to increase the defense topline by $37 billion.
@RepSaraJacobs is speaking out in strong opposition to the proposal, calling it reckless.
The committee just voted 42-17 to adopt the amendment to increase the defense topline by $37 billion. #FY23NDAA
I said I'd stay focused on @POGOwatchdog's NDAA priorities, but I can't resist...
HASC is slowly but surely making their way through amendments to the chairman's mark. Since the topline vote, they've voted on 17 amendments, 5 of which they adopted.
Adopted amdts pertain to @DIU_x, the nuclear sea-launched cruise missile, military climate change resilience, & importing Chinese goods to military bases/posts.
Roll call votes requested on amdts related to #Gitmo, the Women Peace & Security Act, & COVID vax for servicemembers.
The committee is now in recess. Unclear when they'll return, but I'm taking it as an opportunity to refuel and reset! Get your dinner, folks!
We are back to business y'all! For how long remains to be seen.
Stillllll no amendments to prevent an increase to the F-35 buy in FY23 or to protect funding for the #A10Wartog
Rep. Veasey just withdrew an amendment on the F-35, presumably to increase the buy for FY23 given his position on the JSF Caucus, but unclear. He cited a likely deal with Reps. Garamendi and Norcross to "work out differences" down the road...
And with that, I'm tapping out for tonight! More tomorrow. š„±
