Senior House appropriator outlines procedures for member submissions

House Appropriations defense subcommittee Chairwoman Kay Granger (R-TX) recently distributed a memo to her congressional colleagues outlining the procedures for submitting language for consideration in the fiscal year 2019 military spending bill.

Granger's missive emphasizes that under House rules, earmarks "should not be included. . . . Members are advised to carefully consider their submissions to the Committee in light of this to avoid inadvertently triggering the earmark rules and requirements."

The deadline for submissions for the defense subcommittee is March 19, according to the letter.
