It is the sense of the Senate that— section 101 of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 ( Public Law 118–5 ) imposes limits on discretionary spending in the defense and nondefense categories; if those spending limits for either category are breached, then across-the-board sequestration cuts are triggered on that category to eliminate the breach; the enactment of authorization and appropriations legislation for the Department of Defense will provide inherent cost savings that continuing resolutions do not provide; there are growing national security concerns that require additional funds beyond the revised security spending limit, to include continued support to the Ukrainian armed forces, additional munitions production, additional large surface combatants, shipbuilding industrial base modernization investments, submarine industrial base and supply chain management, additional production of wheeled and tracked combat vehicles, and emergent capabilities and exercises in the United States Indo-Pacific Command; as the Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer stated on June 1, 2023, This debt ceiling deal does nothing to limit the Senate’s ability to appropriate emergency/supplemental funds to ensure our military capabilities are sufficient to deter China, Russia, and our other adversaries and respond to ongoing and growing national security threats, including Russia’s ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine, our ongoing competition with China and its growing threat to Taiwan, Iranian threats to American interests and those of our partners in the Middle East, or any other emerging security crisis; nor does this debt ceiling deal limit the Senate’s ability to appropriate emergency/supplemental funds to respond to various national issues, such as disaster relief, or combating the fentanyl crisis, or other issues of national importance. ; and the President should expeditiously send emergency funding requests to the Senate for consideration so that those needs can receive sufficient and additional funds.
