Bill Preview

Following a House hearing last week on the Obama administration's fiscal year 2012 missile defense budget request, House Armed Services strategic forces subcommittee Chairman Michael Turner (R-OH) this morning mapped out the next steps for not just the missile defense investment plan, but also the FY-12 defense authorization bill as a whole.

Turner told attendees of a missile defense event on Capitol Hill that his subcommittee would mark up its portion of the FY-12 bill during the week of May 2. The full committee plans to debate the entire bill the following week, and then bring it to the House floor at the end of May, he added.
