Jon Tester<\/a>, D-Mont. and chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee\u2019s panel on defense, said that he expects the initial version of the fiscal 2022 Defense Department funding plan to be released around Oct. 15. That could jump start work on the budget, which has to be finished by Dec. 3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House lawmakers have already begun moving their version of the appropriations bill, but it\u2019s almost $30 billion below what is outlined in the annual defense authorization bill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Tester\u2019s panel goes with the higher $740 billion top line for military spending, it will likely force House appropriators to go along with funding defense at the higher level \u2014 above what White House officials have asked for \u2014 to ensure the budget can get done without further delay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<strong>Tuesday, Oct. 5 <\/strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nSenate Armed Services \u2014 9:30 a.m. \u2014 G-50 Dirksen
