It also reinforces and underscores the sense of the Senate passed by the committee that states "sequestration relief should include both defense and nondefense relief." Again. that is a concept that has motivated all of us or the vast majority for many years. Specifically. my amendment would revise the budget caps to allow for an additional $18 billion in nondefense and defensefocused domestic spending to match the additional $18 billion in defense spending. The additional nondefense funds are intended primarily to help address security challenges facing our Nation that do not fall within the purview of the Department of Defense. including funds to implement the integrated campaign plan to counter ISIL. enhance Federal cyber security. and provide additional resources for border security. first responders. counternarcotics. refugee assistance. Zika prevention and treatment. and infrastructure security and vulnerabilities. True national security involves more than just the activities of DOD. and so nonDOD departments and agencies should also receive relief from the budget caps.
