The full U.S. House of Representatives is expected to take up its version of the fiscal year 2019 defense appropriations bill the week of June 25-29.
The debate on the $674.6-billion measure will likely occur June 27, according to a spokeswoman for the House Appropriations Committee (HAC).
The House Rules Committee has set a deadline of June 21 at 10 a.m. for lawmakers to submit amendments for possible floor consideration.
One potential amendment already submitted by Rep. Bill Foster (D-Ill.) would steer $10 million to developing technologies to counter the smuggling of nuclear weapons and materials.
The bill, which the HAC approved June 13 (Defense Daily, June 13), would buy 93 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, 16 more than the Department of Defense requested, and procure three Littoral Combat Ships, two more than the Navy sought. It adds $623 million to the Air Force request to continue a program to replace the aging E-8C JSTARS ground-surveillance plane.
The Senate Appropriations Committee is scheduled to take up its version of the bill the week of June 25-29.

When Trump signed the $1.3-trillion FY 2018 omnibus appropriations bill into law in March, he expressed misgivings about several non-defense aspects of the legislation and vowed to oppose another omnibus (Defense Daily, March 23).
