Rules Committee Approves Structured Rule for HR 6157, FY 2019 DOD Spending

This evening the House Rules Committee adopted a structured rule for the consideration of HR 6157, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2019. The rule provides for floor action on a short-list of 24 of the 139 amendments submitted to the Committee last week. Additional amendments will be considered in an additional rule to be developed by the Committee tomorrow.

None of the nine amendments that I discussed briefly on Saturday were included in the initial 24 amendments included in this rule.

The House will probably start debate on this bill tomorrow afternoon.
