As the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) releases its full committee mark for the fiscal year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), it intends to bring the bill to the House floor just after the July 4th holiday, committee staffers said June 7. The HASC Chairman’s mark was released June 7 and lines up fairly close to the House Appropriations Committee’s defense spending bill for a total of $733 billion, which was passed by the full committee May 21 (Defense Daily, May 21). The mark includes a topline of $724.9 billion, to include $69 billion in overseas contingency operations (OCO) funding. It does not include $8.2 billion in national defense authorizations that are outside of the committee’s jurisdiction, and which would bring the full amount up to $733 billion.
