The long reach of the coronavirus outbreak will not keep U.S. lawmakers from passing an annual bill that determines how the Pentagon spends its billions, as Congress has done for six decades.
Representatives Adam Smith, Democratic chairman of the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee, and Mac Thornberry, the panel’s top Republican, announced on Tuesday that the National Defense Authorization Act will pass in 2020, as it has annually since 1961.
However, they said the coronavirus crisis will affect how the sprawling bill - this year’s NDAA affected more than $730 billion in spending - is written and voted on by the House. It is one of the few major pieces of legislation to make it through Congress every year, a point of great pride for the House and Senate Armed Services panels.
