This week in Congress: House defense budget debates on display - Military Times

House appropriators will continue their defense budget work this week in advance of the Senate’s return from the holiday recess and the resumption of their draft of the annual defense authorization bill.

Last week, appropriators held a closed hearing on the defense budget but will openly debate their funding plans on Tuesday as part of broader work on the annual federal budget.

Lawmakers remain skeptical that any final bill can be passed before the November elections, but the work now could help speed those efforts at the end of the year.

Also on Tuesday, the House Foriegn Affairs Committee will discuss the importance of international cooperation in confronting the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed more than 135,000 Americans in the last four months.
