The committee said it had released the FY27 Defense Subcommittee bill and that the bill would go to subcommittee markup the next day. The release also described the measure as providing a $1.072 trillion discretionary allocation.

The FY27 markup calendar lists a June 11 subcommittee markup for the classified Defense bill and a June 24 full committee markup, showing the bill was still moving through the appropriations process.

The schedule confirms the defense bill had not completed committee action as of the lookback date, so the spending-cut claim remains unresolved.
