While the NDAA generally does not provide funding (i.e., budget authority), historically the legislation has served as an indicator of congressional intent on funding for such activities. The House- and Senate-passed versions of the bill would authorize at least the level of funding the President requested for such activities in FY2024 (beginning October 1, 2023), consistent with the defense discretionary spending cap in the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (FRA; P.L. 118-5). See Table 1. House-passed NDAA (H.R. 2670) H.R. 2670 would authorize $874.2 billion-the level of funding the President's budget requested for activities within the scope of the legislation, according to the accompanying committee report (H.Rept. 118-125). The bill would authorize slightly more funding than requested for the U.S. Department of Defense, or DOD (+0.04%). In terms of major DOD appropriation titles, the legislation would authorize more funding than requested for military construction and family housing (+4.8%); procurement (+0.3%); and research, development, test, and evaluation (+0.2%); and less funding than requested for the Defense Health Program and other activities (-0.3%); operation and maintenance (-0.3%); and military personnel (-0.1%). The legislation would authorize less funding than requested for atomic energy defense programs (-1.2%), including defense environmental cleanup activities. The legislation would authorize more funding than requested for certain other defense-related activities (15.9%), including a program to provide DOD access to commercial tanker vessels. Including amounts for certain programs not in the jurisdiction of House Armed Services Committee (HASC) or requiring additional authorization, the defense discretionary budget authority implication of H.R. 2670 is $886.3 billion-approximately the level of the defense discretionary spending cap for FY2024 in P.L. 118-5 (137 Stat. 12). The cap does not apply to specially designated funding, such as emergency funding. Statements made during debate of H.R. 2670 in HASC illustrate a range of perspectives on the overall level of funding authorizations in the bill. Representative Rob Wittman, Chair of the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee, said he supported the effort by Representative Mike Rogers, Chair of the Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov IN12209 CRS INSIGHT Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress
