While the NDAA generally does not provide funding (i.e., budget authority), historically it has provided an indicator of congressional intent on discretionary funding for such activities. As deliberation of the FY2023 NDAA continues, Congress is considering whether to authorize between $37.0 billion (4.6%) and $44.9 billion (5.6%) more than the President requested, according to the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) and the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) reports (H.Rept. 117-397 and S.Rept. 117-130) accompanying their versions of the legislation (see Table 1). The range of such a potential increase would comprise the largest percentage growth between requested and authorized funding in the legislation over at least the past decade (see Table 2). H.R. 7900 H.R. 7900 would authorize $839.3 billion-$37.0 billion (4.6%) more than requested. The legislation would authorize additional funding for each Department of Defense (DOD) appropriation title, including $16.0 billion more for procurement (with additional funding for Navy ships and aircraft; Air Force aircraft; and Army weapons, tracked combat vehicles, and missiles); $8.5 billion more for research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) activities; and $4.3 billion more for military construction and family housing projects (see Table 1). The legislation would authorize at least several billion dollars to cover inflationary effects, including $3.5 billion in inflation adjustments to complete existing military construction projects, according to CRS analysis of selected line items; $2.5 billion for increased fuel costs; and $800 million for an inflation bonus pay for certain military personnel. During HASC markup of the legislation, Representative Jared Golden offered an amendment to increase funding authorized in the bill by $37 billion. Golden said, We need only look to world events in Ukraine, read reports regarding China's plans and actions in the South China Sea, or simply read the latest headlines about Iranian nuclear ambitions and North Korean missile tests, as well as ongoing terrorist threats in order to see why this funding is necessary to meet the security challenges of our time. Golden also said inflationary pressures were hampering the military's ability to procure equipment, invest in Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov IN11990 CRS INSIGHT Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress
