House Republicans released legislation on Monday to fund the federal government for the rest of fiscal year 2017, and along the way, makes deep cuts to some agencies, and increases funding for others.
Republicans are proposing the biggest increases for defense, much of which would go into the Overseas Contingency Operations budget that is not covered by the budget caps.
The GOP also boosts funding for Health and Human Services, Homeland Security and several others. The bill, which Republicans hope to pass this week, would chop the Departments of Agriculture, Education, Justice and others.
