WASHINGTON \u2014 The confirmation hearing before the Senate for Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh<\/a> will be the headline event on Capitol Hill this week, but Congress\u2019 return to Capitol Hill this week also means a flurry of defense-related work before the October recess arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lawmakers have until the end of the month to settle their appropriations bills<\/a>, including the defense and Veterans Affairs spending plans for fiscal 2019. The House and Senate could agree to a continuing resolution to prevent a government shutdown if a full federal budget compromise isn\u2019t reached, but for now they\u2019re optimistic they\u2019ll finish the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defense and Veterans Affairs committees also have their own nominations to handle. The Senate Veterans\u2019 Affairs Committee this week will consider President Donald Trump\u2019s pick to take over the VA\u2019s whistleblower office, and other Pentagon and State Department officials are expected to get their hearings in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any work not completed by Sept. 28 will remain unresolved until late November, when both chambers return to town for a few weeks of a lame duck session.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWednesday, Sept. 5<\/strong>\n
