That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that— (1) failing to provide our military with full, stable, and on-time funding allows our adversaries to close critical military capability gaps, putting our servicemembers at increased risk, and severely harms our military’s ability to prepare for, deter, and, if needed, defend against these capabilities, putting United States national security at greater risk; (2) providing full, stable, and on-time funding for the Department of Defense is critically necessary to preventing these increased risks; and (3) the House of Representatives is committed to ending the funding uncertainty for the Department of Defense and providing the resources United States servicemembers need to defend the Nation, and that the Senate should join the House of Representatives in these efforts.

Karen L. Haas, Clerk.
