Brown is expected to face tough questioning from Republican members, but his biggest obstacle will be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2023\/03\/24\/abortion-fight-in-senate-snarls-hundreds-of-military-promotions\/\" target=\"_blank\">Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville<\/a>, who has a hold on more than 200 Defense Department nominees over the military\u2019s abortion access policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few hours after that hearing, the <a href=\"https:\/\/rules.house.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\">House Rules Committee<\/a> will set the parameters for floor debate expected to begin this week on the annual defense authorization bill, which contains hundreds of policy changes for the Pentagon in the coming year. <a href=\"https:\/\/rules.house.gov\/bill\/118\/hr-2670\" target=\"_blank\">More than 1,500 amendments<\/a> were submitted by lawmakers for the draft bill in recent weeks, but only a small fraction of those are expected to be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democrats in the chamber are expected to push back against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2023\/06\/30\/abortion-debate-could-snarl-congress-work-on-the-defense-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\">GOP efforts to limit abortion access<\/a>, transgender medical care limits and other social issues included in the measure. But Republicans are expected to use the measure to reinforce their campaign priorities ahead of negotiations with the Democratic-controlled Senate later this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both sides hope to have a final product for lawmakers to consider by early fall. Whether Brown can be confirmed in the same timeline is unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2> Tuesday, July 11<\/h2> \r\nSenate Armed Services \u2014 9:30 a.m. \u2014 G-50 Dirksen <br>\r\n<i>Nominations<\/i><br>\r\nThe committee will consider the nomination of Air Force Gen.
