The House Appropriations Committee voted 34-27 to pass a $1 trillion-plus fiscal year 2027 defense spending bill.

Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA), chairman of the committee’s defense subcommittee, touted the bill’s historically large topline.

“The increased funding provided in this bill aims to achieve that urgent goal in addition to building off the defense innovation programs I have prioritized as chairman,” he said in a statement. “The Defense Innovation Unit, APFIT, and Civil Reserve Manufacturing Network (CRMN) are prioritized in the FY27 bill to get our warfighters access to game-changing technologies, weapons, and the tools they need to win on the battlefield.“

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK) highlighted some of the bill’s key investments.

“From pay raises for our troops and accelerating procurement to building new aircraft, ships, and submarines — chairman Calvert’s legislation not only equips today's force -– but also rebuilds the industrial capacity necessary to sustain tomorrow's,” he said. “It is an investment in readiness, resilience, and America's long-term strategic advantage.”

Meanwhile, the White House today also sent appropriators a defense supplemental request for $67 billion to help offset the costs of the U.S. operation in Iran.
