According to The Hill, the House is expected to vote on the 1,813-page National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025 on Wednesday. Released on Saturday night, the legislation — which was negotiated behind closed doors by congressional leadership — is stuffed with items unrelated to defense policy and void of conservative priorities included in the version passed by the GOP-controlled House earlier this year.
The “negotiated” NDAA does not include a provision from the lower chamber’s billthat eliminated all Pentagon offices that “promote diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI), an offshoot of Marxist ideology. The removed provision also sought to ensure that “the employment of all personnel of each such [DEI} office is terminated.”
The final version does not include a section from the House bill prohibiting the defense secretary from “establish[ing] or maintain[ing] any committee, panel, office, or other organization with responsibility for matters relating to [DEI] in schools operated by the Department of Defense Education Activity.” A provision eliminating the Defense Department’s chief diversity officer was also removed from the final measure.
The “negotiated” NDAA also waters down language in the House version that placed limits on the Pentagon’s ability to create new DEI-related positions. While the House measure seeks to permanently prohibit the agency from “establish[ing] any new positions” and “fill[ing] any vacancies” related to DEI, the bill produced by congressional leadership only places a temporary hold on these actions until the U.S. comptroller general submits to Congress a “review of the Department of Defense [DEI] workforce,” as required by the FY2024 NDAA.
