APPROVING $740.5 BILLION MILITARY BUDGET:

Voting 335-78, the House on Dec. 8 adopted the conference report on a $740.5 billion military budget (HR 6395) for fiscal 2021 that includes $69 billion to fund combat operations overseas; more than $60 billion for active-duty and retiree health care; and hundreds of billions for weapons systems, personnel costs, and research and developmen­t. The bill would require the removal of Confederat­e names from military bases, treat global warming as a national security threat, fund a 3 percent pay raise for uniformed personnel and expand programs for military victims of sexual assault. A yes vote was to send the measure to the Senate.

On a vote of 343-67, the House on Dec. 9 passed a bill (HR 8900) that would fund the government on a stopgap basis through Dec. 18. In addition to averting a shutdown, the vote gives leaders more time to negotiate another round of emergency relief for individual­s and households facing economic hardship as a result of COVID-19. A yes vote was to approve stopgap funding through Dec. 18.

Voting 46-50, the Senate on Dec. 9 refused to block the Trump administra­tion’s planned sale of MQ-9 Reaper drones to the United Arab Emirates. These unmanned aerial vehicles are equipped with laser-guided bombs and airto-ground missiles. By this vote, the Senate failed to discharge from committee a measure (SJ Res 77) to disapprove of the sale. A yes vote was in opposition to the sale.
