The House is scheduled to begin consideration of HR 8774, the FY 2025 DOD spending bill, today. It will be considered under the same rule (H Res 1316) that was approved yesterday for the consideration of HR 8752 (DHS spending) and HR 8771 (State Dept spending). That rule provides for the consideration of 193 potential amendments, more than were allotted for the other two bills combined.
Those amendments include all three of the ones that I briefly mentioned on Monday. They are:
70.
James (R,MI): Offsets $12 million from Defense-Wide Operations and Management
for Defense-Wide RDTE, Cyber Security Research for establishing a Connected
Vehicle Cybersecurity Center. (10 minutes)
158.
Strong (R,AL), Sewell (AL): Increases Army RDT&E (H. Rept. 118-557: Line
16, Air and Missile Defense Technology, PE 0602150A) by $5,000,000 for
Automated Software Weakness and Vulnerability Discovery for Binary Code. (10
minutes)
191. Wilson (R,SC), Kiggans (VA): Increases and decreases defense-wide RDT&E by $6,000,000 for Cyber Talent & Curriculum Development/ Platform & Critical Infrastructure Defense Cybersecurity Research. (10 minutes)
There are more relatively non-controversial amendments to be considered with the DOD bill; many increasing spending that would affect jobs in the sponsor’s district. I would expect to see more of these amendments being considered during en bloc considerations.
Interestingly, the DHS spending bill is not listed on today’s schedule
for consideration. It could still finish up tomorrow morning before they
complete work on the DOD spending bill.
