The chambers\u2019 armed services committees are expected to reschedule them in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, work on next year\u2019s defense spending plans were postponed until after the debt limit negotiations. The deal struck between White House officials and House Republican leaders (and signed into law late last week) set out $886 billion in military appropriations next year, providing clarity on the path ahead for the lawmakers\u2019 budget work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that target isn\u2019t set in stone. A number of Democratic and Republican senators have said that number \u2014 an increase of 3% \u2014 isn\u2019t enough to keep pace with foreign threats, and that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/budget\/2023\/06\/01\/senators-seek-to-bypass-defense-caps-in-debt-ceiling-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\">a defense supplemental will be needed<\/a> to cover the shortfall. With just six weeks of legislative session scheduled for this summer, party leaders will need to move quickly to decide whether to ignore those complaints or find ways to bump up the budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Tuesday, June 6<\/h2>\r\n\r\nHouse Judiciary \u2014 10 a.m. \u2014 2141 Rayburn <br>\r\n<i>U.S.\/China Strategic Competition <\/i><br>\r\nOutside experts will testify on
