Rules Committee Okays Additional Amendments for HR 6157, FY 2019 DOD Spending


Yesterday the House Rules Committee set the rule for today’s consideration of additional amendments to HR 6157, Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2019. Two cyber related amendments from the list I described last week were added to the total of 29 amendments to be considered today.

The two amendments were:

• #4 from Rep. Hastings (D,FL); it would add $5 million dollars for training and retention of cybersecurity personnel DOD wide (it was #31 on the original list); and
#21 from Rep. Langevin (D,RI); it would add $10 million to the existing Cyber Scholarship program (it was #57 on the original list)

Both amendments are likely to be approved by voice votes.
