House Armed Services Committee members are expected to mark up their section of the congressional reconciliation package this week, potentially adding $150 billion in military spending in coming years<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reconciliation package \u2014 the broad framework of which has already been adopted by the Republican-led House and Senate \u2014 is expected to be up for chamber votes sometime next month. Committee work on individual sections of the spending plan are scheduled for the next two weeks, following lawmakers\u2019 return from a two-week spring recess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While many agencies are expected to see sharp spending decreases<\/a> under the plan, Republican lawmakers have backed funding increases for military programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

House Armed Services leaders have tentatively scheduled a vote for their portion of the legislation for Tuesday. Officials have said they hope to phase in that money over the next five years, to counter current threats and boost White House defense priorities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
