Yesterday the House continued their consideration of HR 2670, the FY 2024 National Defense Authorization Act. The consensus actions of the previous day were done, with the House grinding through Amendment 62 (of the 80 amendments approved by the House Rules Committee). While most of the amendments passed or failed by near party-line votes, there were a number of instances where minorities of either party switched their support for amendments.
The House adjourned at 11:32 pm EDT and will resume consideration today.
The Senate is preparing to consider S 2226, their version of
the NDAA with a large number of amendments already introduced. The two versions
of the bill will be significantly different and will have to be resolved in conference.
Most of the more radical amendments agreed to yesterday in the House will
almost certainly be stripped from the version reported out of conference. The
House will need significant Democratic support for the reported bill to be able
to be passed.
NOTE: Corrected date in Title to reflect date of actions in the House - 2154 EDT 7-14-23
