The US House of Representatives may begin consideration of the NDAA later this week, according to a schedule shared by Majority Leader Steve Scalise. NDAA investments in support of the Pacific and European deterrence initiatives will help address a changing global threat landscape, the OMB statement said.However, the Biden administration opposes some measures included in the NDAA, such as funding for nuclear sea-launched missiles and warheads, the formation of a Space National Guard, and a prohibition on using funds to provide Russia with required New START Treaty notifications, the statement said. Moreover, the administration opposes the establishment of a new inspector general to oversee assistance to Ukraine, as well as an expansion of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction’s authority, the statement said. The Biden administration looks forward to working with Congress to address its concerns, the statement added. Scalise criticized the Biden administration’s Defense Department for spending money on diversity, equity and inclusion programs instead of lethality, noting that one of Congress’ most important duties is funding national defense ensuring taxpayer dollars are used responsibly.

White House Supports $886Bln US Defense Spending Bill for Fiscal Year 2024
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - President Joe Biden and his administration support Congress passing the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2024, which provides $886 billion in defense-related spending, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) said on Monday.
"The Administration strongly supports enactment of a National Defense Authorization Act for a 63 consecutive year and is grateful for the strong, bipartisan work of the House Armed Services Committee on behalf of America’s national defense," OMB said in a statement.
The US House of Representatives may begin consideration of the NDAA later this week, according to a schedule shared by Majority Leader Steve Scalise.
NDAA investments in support of the Pacific and European deterrence initiatives will help address a changing global threat landscape, the OMB statement said.
However, the Biden administration opposes some measures included in the NDAA, such as funding for nuclear sea-launched missiles and warheads, the formation of a Space National Guard, and a
prohibition on using funds to provide Russia with required New START Treaty notifications, the statement said.
Moreover, the administration opposes the establishment of a new inspector general to oversee
assistance to Ukraine, as well as an expansion of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction’s authority, the statement said.
The Biden administration looks forward to working with Congress to address its concerns, the statement added.
"Our plan also increases oversight and accountability of the Biden administration’s defense spending to prevent waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption, so that no dollar goes unaccounted for," Scalise said in a statement on the NDAA.
Scalise criticized the Biden administration’s Defense Department for spending money on
diversity, equity and inclusion programs instead of lethality, noting that one of Congress’ most important duties is funding national defense ensuring taxpayer dollars are used responsibly.
