The House Appropriations Committee today approved the fiscal year 2023 Defense bill on a 32-26 vote.
“As we begin to debate this bill and move it through committee consideration, I want to make it abundantly clear that the topline funding level in this bill is in line with President Biden’s budget request and endorsed by Secretary of Defense General Austin when he testified before our committee earlier this year. It was developed with the deepest concern for our national security and with a commitment to protect our nation and to confront any threat that may come our way."
"This bill was written to strengthen our existing force, our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Guardians and give them the tools they need to do their jobs safely and come home to their families."
The House Appropriations Committee today released its reports accompanying the fiscal year 2023 Defense and Legislative Branch appropriations bills and its fiscal year 2023 302(b) subcommittee allocations.
