The \u201cno\u201d votes came from 19 Republicans and 51 Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now the bill heads to the Senate, where there\u2019s some bipartisan resistance to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2021\/11\/30\/reforms-to-military-justice-system-endangered-by-slow-pace-of-defense-authorization-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\">military justice reform provisions<\/a> weakened during negotiations. It\u2019s unclear whether the Senate, like the House, will approve the bill without considering more amendments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But with the House scheduled to leave for the rest of the year on Friday, lawmakers have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/budget\/2021\/11\/30\/with-defense-bill-stalled-will-lawmakers-ping-pong-it-home\/\" target=\"_blank\">narrow window<\/a> if they want to send the defense bill to the president\u2019s desk during 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bill finalized Tuesday authorizes $768 billon for national defense, of which $28 billion funds Energy Department nuclear weapons programs. It was negotiated by leaders of the two Armed Services committees, who met in an informal conference committee after the Senate failed to pass the defense bill before Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the bill\u2019s higher top line are 12 F\/A-18 Super Hornets that were not requested; five more Boeing F-15EX jets than the request for 17 total; and 13 ships total \u2015 including two attack submarines and two destroyers \u2015 for five more than the request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bill has been passed 60 years in a row, and defense lawmakers warned that failing to clear the bill this year would stymy Pentagon modernization efforts in the face of China\u2019s growing military might.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere are a whole bunch of provisions in this bill to help push the Pentagon in the correct direction, to help make sure that we give them the help they need. Or in some cases the push they need to adapt the technology is going to move us in better direction,\u201d said HASC Chairman Adam Smith, D-Wash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The panel\u2019s top Republican, Rep. Mike Rogers, pointed to the bill\u2019s higher top line, which he and other Republicans sought, as well as its forward-leaning investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt also begins divesting in legacy systems that will not help us deter future threats,\u201d said Rogers of Alabama. \u201cInstead, it invests in new technologies like [artificial intelligence], hypersonics, and quantum computing that will help us stay ahead of our adversaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., is leading a small, bipartisan group that is unhappy with compromise military justice provisions after pushing for stronger reforms to combat sexual assault in the ranks. They\u2019re calling for their reform bill, which previously garnered strong support in both chambers, to get a new vote in the Senate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asked whether that dissatisfaction would damage the bill\u2019s chances in the Senate, Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2021\/05\/11\/reed-prioritizing-china-deterrence-fund-comms-and-unmanned-ships\/\">Jack Reed<\/a>, D-R.I., touted the bill\u2019s compromise military justice language as \u201cthe most significant &#8230; in decades,\u201d as well as the bill\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/pay-benefits\/mil-money\/2021\/06\/29\/house-panel-backs-27-percent-pay-raise-for-troops-in-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\">2.7% pay raise for troops<\/a>, \u201crobust\u201d military construction budget and emphasis on military research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you look at the spectrum, it\u2019s what I think an NDAA below should be: Protect our forces, equip our forces as a deterrent for any kind of conflict,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, Reed declined to say Tuesday afternoon whether he believed the bill could garner the 60 votes it needs in the Senate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are, I think, in good shape and continue to work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House passed a new compromise defense policy bill and sent it to the Senate Tuesday, endorsing a $25 billion increase over President Joe Biden\u2019s defense budget request for 2022<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":3370,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":62,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[101,12,26,62],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3216],"class_list":["post-84251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-news","category-newsletters","category-pentagon-congress"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"REXYUWXBWJFF5EYNLCCL6ASGPA","arc_canonical_url":"\/congress\/2021\/12\/07\/house-passes-defense-bill-363-70-senate-up-next\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>House passes defense bill 363-70;
