Senate to Begin Consideration of HR 4350 – FY 2022 NDAA

While there is no official word that the Senate will be considering HR 4350, the FY 2022 NDAA, this week, the first amendment to that bill was offered on Thursday, the last day that the Senate was in session this week. As expected, that amendment is essentially the language from S 2972, the version of the NDAA from the Senate Armed Services Committee. While I have not done a page-by-page review of SA 3867, the list of sections in the amendment is the same as in S 2972.

I expect that the Senate will formally begin consideration of HR 4350 late this week. The amendment submission process is likely to begin a day or two before that.

Interestingly, there have been 21 amendments submitted to S 2792 since September 27^th. None of those amendments are of particular interest here and it does not look like any of them have been incorporated into SA 3867. It is likely that most of those amendments will be resubmitted as amendments to the substitute language for HR 4350.
