If we don\u2019t get this done, there\u2019s going to be training they just can\u2019t do.\u201d<\/p><p>Republican leaders intend to exclude from the bill announced Wednesday any cuts that wouldoffset the new spending, arguing that the money for defense and agriculture is urgent and that such cuts could complicate or slow down the bill\u2019s passage.<\/p><p>Instead, leaders are signaling to the conference that they could pair additional defense money with offsets in another reconciliation effort after the elections \u2014 effectively delaying the politically messy fight over how to pay for the third package\u2019s spending.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans\u2019 more immediate reconciliation plan instructs the House Armed Services Committee to produce legislation that dedicates no more than $60 billion and the House Intelligence Committee to draft its bill at $13 billion or less to address much of Trump\u2019s request to cover the costs of the Iran war. The committees have until Sept. 11 to introduce their legislation.<\/p><p>The combined $73 billion would not address the broader military buildup the Trump administration sought in its fiscal 2027 budget request.<\/p><p>The administration\u2019s June supplemental spending request for the Pentagon included $67.1 billion to cover Operation Epic Fury in Iran and other national security needs, including military operations, readiness, munitions and classified programs.<\/p><p>But the administration separately requested $350 billion in mandatory funding in fiscal 2027. The administration\u2019s $1.5 trillion defense budget proposal asked for the $350 billion to come through reconciliation and the rest in regular appropriations.<\/p><p>Trump, as recently as last month, <span><u>exhorted lawmakers<\/u><\/span> to make that a reality.<\/p><p>\u201cI am hereby calling on Republicans in Congress to IMMEDIATELY advance and pass the forthcoming $350 Billion Reconciliation Bill (Recon 3.0) \u2014 which, at the request of our Great Department of War \u2014 will include THE SAVE AMERICA ACT as well. No games, no delays, and no weak compromises!

It addresses the Pentagon\u2019s most immediate needs, House Armed Services Vice Chair Rob Wittman (R-Virginia) told NOTUS.<\/p><p>\u201cWhat you\u2019re looking at is what\u2019s the art of the possible,\u201d Wittman said. \u201cNobody denies what the need is. The key is: What can we do? How do you prioritize what you need? How do you get that done? At the very least, the $67 billion, in my mind, is that bogey that\u2019s right in front of us that we have to be able to address.\u201d<\/p><p>However, Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi), another defense hawk and advocate for the $1.5 trillion request, panned the emerging House plan on the third reconciliation bill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s inadequate,\u201d he said. Asked if a fourth package would be needed, he said. \u201cWe need to do a better one.\u201d<\/p><p>House leaders, he said, kept him in the dark as they shifted toward the slimmer number.<\/p><p>\u201cThere was no extent to which I was read in,\u201d he said.<\/p><p>Senior Senate Republicans, including Appropriations Committee Chair Susan Collins (R-Maine), have cast doubt on reconciliation as being a viable way to fund the asks and advocated for funding in a normal way.<\/p><p>\u201cI think it\u2019s best that we proceed through the regular appropriations process and the supplemental,\u201d Collins said Wednesday.<\/p><p>Democrats, meanwhile, say the Pentagon should use the billions in unspent funds from the reconciliation bill Republicans passed last year before seeking additional money to pay for the war.<\/p><p>\u201cIf these are urgent priorities, you\u2019ve got $89 billion that you haven\u2019t spent and that you haven\u2019t even obligated to spend from last year,\u201d said Sen.
