House and Senate Committees to Mark Up DOD Authorization Bill in June
According to Congress Daily (subscription required), both the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) and the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) plan to complete their markups of the FY2010 Department of Defense authorization bill before the end of June. Meanwhile, HASC Ranking Republican John McHugh (R-NY) has resigned his seat on the committee. President Obama announced on June 2 that he would nominate the New York Republican to serve as Secretary of the Army.
The HASC subcommittees are scheduled to markup their sections of the DOD authorization bill next week (June 8-12), with full committee markup on June 16, according to Congress Daily. The publication also reported that SASC intends to complete its markup by July 1 and to bring the bill to the Senate floor before the August recess.
