(FY23 NDAA) HR 7776: On 12/15/22, the Senate voted 83-11 to adopt the joint House-Senate compromise version of the FY23 National
Defense Authorization Act (which includes a number of other authorization bills). The House previously
adopted the measure on 12/8/22 by a vote of 350-80). The bill now goes to the President, who is expected to sign it
expeditiously.

Once again — to keep the Round-Up from running crazy long, I’ve posted my summary of all the Middle
East-related elements that made it into the final bill (and the ones that didn’t) here.
- Also, once again — Please note that the vehicle for the FY23 NDAA/omnibus is HR 7776 – a
bill formerly known as the “Water Resources Development Act of 2022”. As in, HR 7776 has been repurposed
into the 2023 NDAA (i.e., the original text was deleted and replaced with the consensus/compromise NDAA text).
