FILE - In this Sept. 10, 2013, file photo, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Rep. Howard McKeon, R-Calif. asks a question on Capitol Hill in Washington, during the committee's hearing on the proposed authorization to use military force in Syria. Facing a standoff in the Senate, the top Democrats and Republicans on CongressÂ? military panels are working on a backup plan to ensure that they complete a far-reaching defense policy bill before yearÂ?s end. McKeon and the panelÂ?s top Democrat, Rep. Adam Smith of Washington state, expressed optimism on Dec. 5 that they could agree with their Senate counterparts on a pared-back bill that would cover a pay raise for troops, buy new ships and aircraft and address the epidemic of sexual assault in the military.

FILE - This July 16, 2013 file photo shows Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y. listening at a news conference about a bill regarding military sexual assault cases on Capitol Hill in Washington. This week, the Senate is slated to consider an annual defense policy bill that would strip commanders of their ability to overturn jury convictions, require dishonorable discharge or dismissal for any individual convicted of sexual assault and establish a civilian review when a decision is made not to prosecute a case. The bill also would provide a special counsel for victims and eliminate the statute of limitations. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak, File)
