How will the pandemic change things?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WASHINGTON \u2014 The Senate Armed Services Committee will mark up its annual defense policy bill the week of June 8, mostly in closed sessions, its leaders <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armed-services.senate.gov\/press-releases\/inhofe-reed-announce-fy-2021-ndaa-markup-schedule\" target=_blank>announced<\/a> Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Military Personnel Subcommittee set an open markup June 9 for its section of the National Defense Authorization Act, and the other subcommittee markups will be closed, per the panel\u2019s custom. The full committee markup is set for June 10, said SASC Chairman Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., and ranking member Jack Reed, D-R.I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the committee to practice social distancing at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/2020\/05\/06\/the-pentagon-had-made-its-case-against-ligado-what-comes-next-isnt-clear\/\" target=_blank>hearings<\/a> and hold some closed teleconferences with Pentagon leaders instead of in-person meetings, but Inhofe said Tuesday the NDAA would proceed, as it has for 59 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe pandemic just makes it all the more important that we care for our service members and their families, maintain peak readiness and continue modernizing and preparing for the future \u2014 just as the National Defense Strategy urges,\u201d Inhofe said in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019ve faced some unique challenges getting to markup this year, but, together with Senator Reed and the entire Armed Services Committee, in our traditional, bipartisan fashion, I am eager to move this year\u2019s NDAA closer to enactment for the 60th straight year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The House Armed Services Committee announced in March that its markup, initially set for late April, would be postponed due to COVID-19 concerns. The committee has yet to announce a new date, though Chairman Adam Smith, D-Wash., said it is his goal to complete the bill by October without truncating the committee\u2019s process, which is traditionally open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re going to get it done this year like we get it done every year, and obviously the challenges are significant as we figure out how we\u2019re going to do that,\u201d Smith told reporters on an April 29 call. \u201cBut there\u2019s a bipartisan desire to to our job, and we\u2019re committed to doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The HASC was expected in the coming weeks to introduce and mark up a draft of the defense authorization bill that is in line with the $740 billion top line set by the 2019 budget deal, but a public debate has surfaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2020\/05\/19\/house-progressives-demand-pentagon-cuts-citing-pandemic\/\" target=\"_blank\">Twenty-nine House Democrats<\/a> are calling for spending cuts to address the COVID-19 pandemic, while the HASC\u2019s influential top Republican, Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, has said cutting defense would be shortsighted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy bottom line is: This pandemic is changing a lot in this world, and I do not want the United States to come out of it in a weaker military position than we went into it,\u201d Thornberry said in a May 7 call with reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SASC announced it would consider the NDAA on the following dates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><u><b>Monday, June 8:<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2:30 p.m. \u2013 Subcommittee on Readiness \u2013 Russell SR-232A (CLOSED)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4 p.m. \u2013 Subcommittee on Strategic Forces \u2013 Russell SR-232A (CLOSED)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><u><b>Tuesday, June 9:<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9:30 a.m. \u2013 Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities \u2013 Russell SR-232A (CLOSED)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">11 a.m. \u2013 Subcommittee on Airland \u2013 Russell SR-232A (CLOSED)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2 p.m. \u2013 Subcommittee on Personnel \u2013 Dirksen SD-G50 (OPEN \u2013 see below for press RSVP info)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3:30 p.m. \u2013 Subcommittee on Seapower \u2013 Russell SR-232A (CLOSED)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5:30 p.m. \u2013 Subcommittee on Cybersecurity \u2013 Russell SR-232A (CLOSED)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><u><b>Wednesday, June 10:<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9:30 a.m. \u2013 Full Committee &#8211; Dirksen SD-106 (CLOSED)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><u><b>Thursday, June 11:<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If needed: 9:30 a.m. \u2013 Full Committee &#8211; Dirksen SD-106 (CLOSED)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Senate Armed Services Committee will mark up its annual defense policy bill the week of June 8, mostly in closed session, its leaders announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":32194,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":8,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[8,9,160,36],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3446],"class_list":["post-44772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-congress","category-coronavirus","category-daily-news-roundup","category-newsletters"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"56K5UUVHCNCTZOWM7KS2AGUENQ","arc_canonical_url":"\/congress\/2020\/05\/26\/senate-panel-sets-ndaa-markup-date\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Senate\u2019s NDAA markup is two weeks away.
