That the House of Representatives—
recognizes the critical importance of completing the fiscal year 2019 appropriations process for the Department of Defense prior to the beginning of fiscal year 2019 on October 1, 2018; and
urges the Senate to complete its work on the fiscal year 2019 appropriations bill for the Department of Defense quickly so that—
the House of Representatives can enter into a conference committee with the Senate to reconcile any differences between H.R. 6157 and the defense appropriations bill adopted by the Senate; and
Congress can present the President with a fiscal year 2019 appropriations bill for the Department of Defense for his signature no later than September 30, 2018.
