Defense News: WASHINGTON — Lawmakers have reduced the 2016 defense policy bill by $5 billion to comply with the budget deal between Congress and the president, including $2.6 billion in “adjustments” to acquisition programs, according to a document circulating online.
The reductions, levied across several dozen line items, amount to several billion dollars in “pain,” House Armed Services Committee Chairman Rep. William "Mac" Thornberry, R-Texas, said Monday. The 2016 National Defense Authorization Act’s (NDAA) top line dropped from $612 billion to $607 billion in the new budget deal announced last week.
