      "summary": "{To be suppressed for publishing}\nThe President\u2019s FY2018 budget request, submitted to Congress on May 23, 2017, seeks $677.1 billion in budget authority for national defense-related activities (budget function 050). Of the national defense total, $667.6 billion is discretionary spending. The remaining $9.6 billion is mandatory spending that not provided by annual appropriations acts .\nH.R. 2810, the version of the FY2018 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed by the House on July 14, 2017, would authorize $689.0 billion in discretionary funding for defense activities within the jurisdictions of the House Armed Services Committee. That total includes $593.4 billion in base discretionary funding for the Department of Defense, $74.6 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), and $21.0 billion for defense-related programs of the Energy Department and other agencies.\nS. 1519, the version of the FY2018 NDAA reported by the Senate Armed Services Committee on July 10, 2017, would authorize $692.1 billion in discretionary funding for defense activities within that committee\u2019s jurisdiction. That total includes $610.9 billion in base discretionary funding for the Department of Defense, $60.2 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), and $21.0 billion for defense-related programs of the Energy Department and other agencies.\nNational defense (function 050) appropriations provided at the level recommended by H.R. 2810 would exceed the Budget Control Act (BCA) limit on discretionary defense appropriations by approximately $72.5 billion. Appropriations at the level recommended by S. 1519 would exceed the BCA defense cap by approximately $90.0 billion.",
