It was &#8220;disappointing&#8221; there wasn&#8217;t money for everything, but some procurement could be added back under the next president, Thornberry, R-Texas, said at\u00a0the Foreign Policy Initiative&#8217;s 2016 forum in Washington, D.C. <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;My hope is that the new administration will come to us with a supplemental request as soon as they get their feet on the ground,&#8221; Thornberry said. Such a request might allow Congress to &#8220;put back, and for me the top of the list would be the things that had to drop out now.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/>The NDAA conference report was published Wednesday afternoon. It is expected to get a floor vote in the House on Friday and in the Senate next week. <br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The compromise bill\u00a0aims to remedy military readiness issues, stop &#8220;end strength hemorrhaging&#8221; and retain experienced troops\u00a0\u2014 which Thornberry characterized as tougher than building a new fighter jet. In it, Army end strength jumps to 476,000, from 460,000 in 2017, and the Marine Corps jumps to 185,000 from 182,000 in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NDAA would exclude provisions in the House-passed NDAA for 14 more F\/A-18E\/F aircraft for the Navy and 11 more F-35 joint strike fighters across the services, and much of a proposed plus-up to the Navy&#8217;s shipbuilding budget. \u00a0 <br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Substantial defense increases would require Congress to repeal statutory budget caps\u00a0\u2014\u00a0a Trump campaign promise. Thornberry did say there is bipartisan agreement the caps and pace of operations have taken a toll on defense spending, but he did not spell out the path for Congress to accomplish it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;There is widespread recognition that we have shortchanged defense and that there has to be a change to the Budget Control Act \u2014 sequestration law,&#8221; Thornberry told reporters afterward. &#8220;People on both sides agree to that, and obviously you have to work through the details of how you do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On whether the election impacted the decision to hold off the added procurements, Thornberry said: &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if any; I will say I am hopeful about what the next administration will do to rebuild the military.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thornberry appeared onstage with former Republican Sen. Jim Talent, a contender for defense secretary in the new administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talent praised a Trump campaign trail speech outlining plans for a military buildup of ships, jets and personnel. Talent said he was &#8220;very interested&#8221; in taking a role in the Trump administration, that he has had some discussions with the transition team but that Trump &#8220;has to pick the people that fit, that are most comfortable with and that fit the overall pattern.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I really loved the president-elect&#8217;s defense speech when I read it,&#8221; Talent said. &#8220;I loved the tone, I loved the issues he took on and the way he took them on. I&#8217;m going to support that whether inside or outside government.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Armed Services Chairman Mac Thornberry wants President-elect
