About this vote

The bill sets policies and authorities for fiscal year 2027 for Defense Department programs and activities, military construction, and the Energy Department's national security programs. A motion to recommit sends a bill back to committee and is usually the minority's last chance to change it; it failed, so the House moved on to the vote on passage.
