Pentagon policy up in the air

Top Democrats and Republicans on Congress’ military panels are working on a plan to ensure that they complete a broad defense policy bill before year’s end. It would cover a pay raise for troops, buy new ships and aircraft and address the epidemic of sexual assault in the military. The Senate and the House have only one legislative week to work out their differences before the House adjourns for the year on Dec. 13. A version of the bill remains stalled in the Senate, caught up in a dispute over amendments.
