The White House\u2019s detailed budget plan<\/a> for fiscal 2022 is due on this Friday, but top Defense and State Department officials will testify on Capitol Hill this week ahead of the release about what it means for national security<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin III and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley are scheduled to speak before the House Appropriations Committee on Thursday morning, the first of several expected Capitol Hill appearances to discuss the budget in coming weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secretary of State Antony Blinken will testify four times this week on his department\u2019s funding needs. That\u2019s separate from two appearances by Samantha Power, administrator for the U.S. Agency for International Development, to talk about specific sections of the department budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

White House officials announced broad details of the $1.5 trillion spending plan for next fiscal year in April, but details of the $715 billion in defense funding and other agency specifics have been delayed for weeks. Congressional leaders have warned that budget work is likely to continue late into 2021 because of that stalled release. <\/p>\n\n\n\nMonday, May 24<\/strong>
