The House Appropriations Committee today released its reports accompanying the fiscal year 2022 Homeland Security and Defense appropriations bills.
The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense today approved by voice vote its fiscal year 2022 funding bill.
"In my opinion, we have landed on a responsible number that maintains a strong security posture today - while making important investments that will make us even stronger in the years to come."
"As our nation faces many threats around the world – from China and Russia to international terrorism and the existential challenge of climate change – the funding provided in this bill is fundamental to protecting our national security and providing the soldiers and civilians who serve in our nation’s military with the support they need."
