Budget hearings continue this week as House lawmakers eye a crowded schedule for appropriations and authorization bills in June.
Last week, House Appropriations Committee officials announced plans to hold individual committee mark-ups — including ones for the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs — between June 22 and 30, with the hope of bringing the spending bills to the chamber floor soon thereafter.
