The Defense Subcommittee will come to order.
Today, the Subcommittee will receive testimony from: Lloyd Austin, the Secretary of Defense; General C.Q. Brown, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; and Mike McCord, the Undersecretary of Defense for Comptroller.
The Department of Defense is requesting $833 billion within this Subcommittee’s jurisdiction for fiscal year 2025. This is one percent higher than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level, and would keep Defense spending within the cap imposed by the Fiscal Responsibility Act.
Washington, D.C. – House Appropriations Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK), joined by Defense Subcommittee Chairman Ken Calvert (R-CA) and State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee Chairman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) as original cosponsors, today released a series of critical security supplemental bills that provide much-needed defense assistance to our allies and partners around the world.
The hearing will come to order.
The subject of today’s hearing is the Fiscal Year 2025 request for the House of Representatives.
I’d like to thank Ranking Member Espaillat, Committee Members, Mr. Kevin McCumber, Mr. Bill McFarland, and Ms. Catherine Szpindor and our other House officers for being here today.
