"sit down with our members and have a family discussion about how best to proceed, so that the appropriations process cannot be sabotaged and derailed. Defense bill on Floor week of 6th 17

18 An Ode to Esther James Madison, 6 Feb 1788 If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. 18

19 PB17 $523.9B + $58.8B = $582.7B Is OCO a floor or a ceiling? 19

23 CRA Why this matters to you? Periodic outreach and trust matter staffers too! Don t forget the congressional lens SECDEF s recruiting and retention

24 Personnel and Readiness PB17 1.6% pay raise HASC and HAC-D already at 2.1%...SASC is on the way Modest change to Tricare fees for retirees ($3.5B FYDP savings) HASC $200M savings, SASC $2.4B savings, HAC-D $900M cost Pharmacy co-pays (saves $300M) HASC and HAC-D denied Others Transgender, Women in combat.do they have costs? 24
