The report's Sentinel section says the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent program was provided $3,197,024,000 in the enacted FY2025 bill, but the Air Force spend plan reduced it to $2,006,044,000. It recommends $2,031,551,000 for GBSD in FY2026 and says additional funds may be available through reconciliation.
Official House Appropriations report shows substantial Sentinel/GBSD funding and oversight, but also shows the FY2025 enacted amount was later reduced in the Air Force spend plan and FY2026 funding was still a recommendation, not final full funding.
The Clerk records H.R. 4016, Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2026, passing the House 221-209. Rep. Downing of Montana is listed as voting Yea.
Downing voted for the FY2026 Defense appropriations bill that the committee report tied to $2.031551 billion recommended for Sentinel/GBSD, showing concrete support but not final enactment.
Congress.gov lists H.R.4016 as introduced June 16, 2025, passed by the House on July 18, 2025, and latest action in the Senate on December 8, 2025. The tracker status is Passed House, not law.
The FY2026 Defense appropriations vehicle Downing supported had not become law on the official bill page, so this supports effort rather than fulfilled full funding.
The Clerk records H.R. 1968, Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, passing the House 217-213. Rep. Downing of Montana is listed as voting Yea.
Downing voted for the FY2025 full-year continuing appropriations bill that H. Rept. 119-162 later identified as providing $3.197024 billion for GBSD/Sentinel before the Air Force reduced its spend plan.
The enrolled bill makes full-year FY2025 continuing appropriations and includes Title IV, Department of Defense, with levels for Air Force missile procurement and Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force.
The enacted FY2025 funding law Downing supported provided Defense and Air Force accounts through September 30, 2025; paired with the committee report, this is evidence of partial support for Sentinel funding.
