House appropriators will unveil their plans for the Veterans Affairs and military construction funding this week as House Armed Services Committee<\/a> lawmakers finalize the first draft of the annual defense authorization bill.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authorization and appropriations bills together set spending levels and priorities for the coming fiscal year. Although the Defense Department appropriations bill <\/a>won\u2019t be marked up by House lawmakers until June, the authorization bill will provide broad outlines on the level of spending and the policy changes that will accompany the budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the VA\/military construction bill will include some Defense Department spending, and will be the first measure considered by the House Appropriations Committee this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The level of spending for both areas is generally a point of agreement among Republicans and Democrats, but amendments on social issues and partisan concerns over the size of the defense and non-defense budget could lead to contentious debate throughout the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators are expected to start their public mark-ups on the appropriations and authorization bills sometime next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
