The House Appropriations Committee late this afternoon announced it would begin the mark-up process for the fiscal year 2023 defense spending bill next Wednesday.

The panel's defense subcommittee will mark up the military spending bill in closed session at 9:30 a.m. on June 15 and the military construction subcommittee will mark up its portion that same day at 1:00 p.m., according to a committee statement.

The full committee will then mark up the defense spending bill the following Wednesday, June 22 at 10:00 a.m., with the military construction spending bill being marked up on Thursday, June 23 at 10:00 a.m., according to the panel.

“Earlier this year, we passed a bipartisan, bicameral federal funding bill that pulled us out from under the previous administration’s budget and showed just how government can deliver for working people,” committee Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) said in the statement. “Beginning with next week’s markups, the Appropriations Committee will build off those transformative investments with bills that continue to help meet the needs of working people, lower costs, and address many of the major challenges we face at home and abroad. I look forward to working with my colleagues -- on both sides of the aisle and in both chambers -- to get our spending bills once again over the finish line.”
