The House of Representatives <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/house-passes-858-billion-defense-funding-bill-with-termination-of-military-vaccine-mandate_4912087.html">just passed</a> the mammoth $858 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), an annual must-pass bill setting out defense spending levels.

See what’s inside, and what was left out, below.
<h2>Military Vaccine Mandate Repealed</h2>
In a major win for Republicans and critics of President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 policies, this year’s iteration of the NDAA will include a repeal of a vaccine mandate for military service members.

Biden announced in August 2021 that all federal employees, including military service members, would be required to take the COVID-19 vaccine or lose their job, despite a dearth of long-term testing on the vaccine.

Republicans were opposed to the mandate from the beginning, calling it a violation of the personal liberty of citizens to make their own health decisions.

Initially, service members who refused the vaccine were liable to face consequences up to and including court martial and dishonorable discharge. A dishonorable discharge, roughly the military equivalent of a felony conviction, can severely impact a service member’s life, as many employers will not even consider hiring someone with a less-than-honorable military discharge.

Last year, the Senate passed <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/senate-passes-legislation-to-prevent-dishonorable-discharges-for-unvaccinated-servicemembers_4159448.html">a draft of the NDAA</a> barring the Department of Defense (DOD) from dishonorably discharging service members solely for refusal to take the vaccine.

However, the mandate remained in effect. Even after Biden boldly declared that “the pandemic is over,” the Pentagon <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/pentagon-still-has-a-requirement-to-vaccinate-troops-after-biden-calls-pandemic-over_4743438.html">refused to budge on its vaccine requirements.</a>

But in the past several weeks, efforts to repeal the mandate once and for all ramped up among Republicans.

After rumors began circulating that the NDAA would undo the mandate, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.)—the frontrunner in the race for the speakership of the 118th Congress—vowed during an appearance on Fox Business Network’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/mccarthy-says-national-defense-bill-wont-move-forward-unless-military-vaccine-mandate-dropped_4904092.html">his caucus would not pass the bill unless</a> it ended the vaccine mandate.

“We will secure lifting that vaccine mandate on our military because what we’re finding is, they’re kicking out men and women that have been serving,” McCarthy said. “That’s the first victory of having a Republican majority, and we’d like to have more of those victories, and we should start moving those now.”

Democrats yielded on the issue, giving Republicans a major policy win.

The passage of the bill through the lower chamber came just days after <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/defense-secretary-wants-to-keep-covid-19-vaccine-mandate-for-troops_4903131.html?utm_source=ai&utm_medium=search">Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin expressed his desire to continue imposing the mandate.</a>

“We lost a million people to this virus,” Austin told reporters, although studies and data have shown the vast majority of people who died from COVID-19 were elderly or have compromised immune systems. “A million people died in the United States of America. We lost hundreds in DOD. So this mandate has kept people healthy.”

Following the addition of the amendment ending the mandate, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), one of the most vocal critics of Biden’s diktat, applauded the outcome.

“This is a big day for our men and women in the military,” Paul said <a href="https://twitter.com/SenRandPaul/status/1600584480237924352">in a tweet.</a> “We won, and the NDAA will be amended to respect medical autonomy and religious freedom.”

“These young men and women are willing to put their lives on the line, and now we’ve come forward to say they deserve to be treated with respect,” Paul said in a press conference.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), another key proponent of the amendment, also applauded the bill as “a huge victory for our troops.”
<h2>No Reinstatement of Troops</h2>
Though the bill will undo Biden’s mandate, hopes that the bill would reinstate those who were kicked out of the military for refusal to take the vaccine did not come to fruition.

According to Defense Department <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-administration-mulls-ending-us-military-covid-19-vaccine-mandate-2022-12-03/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data,</a> 3,717 Marines, 1,816 soldiers, and 2,064 sailors have been discharged for refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19, although a small portion has been allowed to remain in service owing to religious or medical waivers.

As of Dec. 1, over 11,500 members of the Army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve have declined to get vaccinated against COVID-19, Axios <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/12/04/congress-military-coronavirus-mandate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported,</a> while 97 percent of the Army’s active personnel received the shot.

In an exclusive interview with The Epoch Times, Air Force Lt. Col Adam Conrad, who asked that his name be changed to protect him from retaliation by the DOD, said that <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/ive-never-seen-morale-so-low-usaf-lt-col-on-military-life-under-vaccine-mandates_4306963.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=digitalsub">he had “never seen morale so low” as it got after the imposition of the mandate.</a>

Various military bodies have been struggling to meet their recruitment goals in part over the vaccine mandate, with the U.S. Army reaching just 75 percent of its recruitment goal of 60,000 for this year, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us-army-misses-recruiting-goal-secretary-confirms_4768306.html?utm_medium=search&utm_source=ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accord</a><a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us-army-misses-recruiting-goal-secretary-confirms_4768306.html?utm_medium=search&utm_source=ai">ing to</a> Army Secretary Christine Wormuth.

Still, the NDAA will not reinstate those troops who were removed due to their opposition to taking the experimental vaccine.

<a href="https://www.republicanleader.gov/the-end-of-president-bidens-military-covid-vaccine-mandate/">In a statement</a> after the passage of the bill, McCarthy applauded the end of the mandate and suggested that Republicans will continue to work to reinstate discharged service members when they take control of the lower chamber in January.

“The end of President Biden’s military COVID vaccine mandate is a victory for our military and for common sense,” McCarthy said. “Last week, I told the president directly: it’s time to end the COVID vaccine mandate and rehire our service members.”

“While I applaud the end of this onerous mandate—the Biden administration must go further. Unfortunately, the mandate has already had negative consequences for our military,” McCarthy said, citing the difficulties that the military has faced in recruiting.

“These heroes deserve justice now that the mandate is no more,” he continued. “The Biden administration must correct service records and not stand in the way of re-enlisting any service member discharged simply for not taking the COVID vaccine.

“Make no mistake: this is a win for our military. But in 28 days the real work begins—the new House Republican majority will work to finally hold the Biden administration accountable and assist the men and women in uniform who were unfairly targeted by this Administration.”

This may be a difficult promise to keep, however, as Democrats retain the upper chamber and will have substantial leverage over the House GOP majority.
<h2>Another Million-Dollar Dole to Ukraine</h2>
The bill will also grant another $800 million of taxpayer funds to the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative as part of the U.S. effort to help Ukraine defend itself against an ongoing Russian invasion.

The United States has already sent around $68 billion in humanitarian and military assistance to Ukraine in three major packages.

The first aid package, passed as part of the $1.5 trillion omnibus spending bill for fiscal year (FY) 2022, sent Ukraine $13.6 billion. In May, Congress passed another standalone bill granting Ukraine $40 billion. Again in September, an additional $13.7 billion was sent to Ukraine.

Though the appropriation is smaller than past handouts, Americans are in the dark as to how exactly Ukraine is using the aid.

Alarmingly, reports indicate that weapons purchased with taxpayer funds have wound up as far afield as Nigeria, falling into the hands of terror groups.

President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria said during a summit of African leaders that “the raging war in Ukraine serve[s] as major sources of weapons and fighters that bolster the ranks of the terrorists in Lake Chad Region.”

He added, “A substantial proportion of the arms and ammunitions procured to execute the war in Libya, continues to find its way to the Lake Chad Region and other parts of the Sahel. Weapons being used for the war in Ukraine and Russia are equally beginning to filter to the region.”

Because of this, calls have escalated among Republicans for Ukraine’s use of taxpayer funds to be audited.

During a Dec. 9 hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, a measure proposed by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) to audit the Eastern European nation was defeated by Democrats.

“The American people deserve full transparency and oversight of where their hard earned tax dollars have gone and that’s why we should audit Ukraine,” Greene said <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1601245288705839104">in a Twitter post after the vote. </a>

“An audit isn’t pro or against Ukraine, it’s just the right thing to do.”

The $800 million figure is far short of the $37.7 billion in additional aid for Ukraine requested by the White House at the end of November.
<h2>Silence on Pentagon Abortion Policy</h2>
The bill does not address a policy recently announced by Defense Secretary Austin that would see taxpayer dollars used to fund travel costs for women in the military to get abortions.

The policy came in response to the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, in which the court overturned Roe v. Wade. As a result of this decision, the right to regulate abortions has been returned to state legislatures for the first time in nearly 50 years.

Austin argued that because military servicemembers often have to travel for work, they should not be restricted from getting an abortion if they are stationed in a state with more restrictive abortion laws.

“Our Service members and their families are often required to travel or move to meet our staffing, operational, and training requirements. Such moves should not limit their access to reproductive health care,” Austin wrote in an October memo.

He contended that the “practical effects of recent changes” would harm military readiness.

“In my judgment, such effects qualify as unusual, extraordinary, hardship, or emergency circumstances for Service members and their dependents and will interfere with our ability to recruit, retain, and maintain the readiness of a highly qualified force,” he wrote.

Republicans were quick to blast the decision.

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) called it “outrageous,” and demanded that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) allow a vote on an amendment to prohibit it.

While the text of the bill does not actively give the green light to this policy, it also does not contain language prohibiting it.

The Pentagon is given a great deal of latitude on how it uses the funding granted by each year’s iteration of the NDAA. While large chunks of it are appropriated for specific purposes, a large proportion of these taxpayer dollars are left to the discretion of the Pentagon to spend as they will.

This means that, if the bill passes with no prohibition of the policy, taxpayers will find themselves indirectly footing the bill for abortions in contravention of an existing law known as the Hyde amendment, which restricts the use of federal funds for abortions.
<h2>Klobuchar Media Bill Fails</h2>
An effort by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) to attach a controversial bill rider to the package was rejected.

The legislation, dubbed <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/1735/text?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22Journalism+Competition+and+Preservation+Act%22%2C%22Journalism%22%2C%22Competition%22%2C%22and%22%2C%22Preservation%22%2C%22Act%22%5D%7D&r=1&s=4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Journalism Competition and Protection Act (JCPA)</a>, would supersede some existing antitrust laws and allow media companies to band together to negotiate with Big Tech platforms, such as Facebook, Google, and Twitter.

<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_app/new-bill-raises-fears-of-big-tech-media-collusion-against-independent-outlets_4715641.html">Critics have warned</a> that the bill would allow Big Tech and legacy media outlets to collude to the detriment of smaller, independent publications.

The bill <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_app/senate-committee-advances-media-big-tech-cartel-bill_4748092.html">advanced through the Senate Judiciary Committee</a> on Sept. 22 but has made little progress since.

Klobuchar’s effort to include the non-defense bill in the defense package was likely a last-ditch effort to pass the legislation before the expiration of the 117th Congress.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, the frontrunner in the race for speaker—a position with broad unilateral authority over what does and does not come to the floor for a vote—has expressed opposition to the bill, calling it the “antithesis of conservatism.”

In a Dec. 6 tweet, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) also expressed opposition to the bill.

“The JCPA has nothing to do with national security,” Lee wrote. “Its inclusion in the NDAA is a last-ditch effort to silence conservative voices and independent journalism.”

He called Klobuchar’s effort to include it in the bill “a desperate attempt for Democrats to pass the legislation during the lame-duck session of Congress.”

Lee added, “It has nothing to do with national security and everything to do with silencing conservative voices and independent journalism.

“Don’t let desperate Democrats sneak the JCPA into the NDAA.”

Unless Klobuchar can get the bill attached to the pending omnibus spending bill for FY 2023, which must pass by Dec. 16 to avert a government shutdown, it is unlikely that the bill will move forward during the next Congress.
<h2>Manchin-Proposed Permitting Reform Absent</h2>
Also absent from the NDAA is a proposal by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) that would alter fossil fuel permitting regulations.

Manchin’s proposal would make it easier for new fossil fuel ventures to receive a federal green light. Currently, these ventures can take years to kick off due to federal red tape and stringent environmental regulations.

Manchin has long pushed for changes to streamline this process—a push he has ramped up as energy prices have continued to soar over the past two years.

But he has received unexpected pushback not only from the left wing of his own party, but also from Republicans.

<a href="https://twitter.com/Sen_JoeManchin/status/1600314364128505857/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a Dec. 6 tweet</a>, Manchin blasted members of both parties for playing “<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/toxic-tribal-politics-manchin-blasts-opposition-to-fossil-fuel-permitting-reform_4909890.html">toxic tribal politics</a>” with permitting reform while Americans brace for much higher energy costs moving into the deep of winter.

“Our energy infrastructure is under attack and America’s energy security has never been more threatened,” Manchin said. “Failing to pass bipartisan energy permitting reform that both Republicans and Democrats have called for will have long term consequences for our energy independence.”

“The American people will pay the steepest price for Washington once again failing to put common sense policy ahead of toxic tribal politics,” Manchin added. “This is why the American people hate politics in Washington.”

In another statement the next day, Manchin repeated this demand.

“Failing to pass the bipartisan, comprehensive energy permitting reform that our country desperately needs is not an acceptable option. As our energy security becomes more threatened every day, Americans are demanding Congress put politics aside and act on commonsense solutions to solve the issues facing us.”

“The Senate must vote to amend the NDAA to ensure the comprehensive, bipartisan permitting reform our country desperately needs is included,” Manchin wrote in the tweet.

But in spite of bipartisan consensus on the need for permitting reform, Manchin has struggled to push the measure forward.

As part of a private deal to win Manchin’s support for the $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act, Schumer promised Manchin that permitting reform would be taken up before the end of the year.

In September, Manchin attempted and failed to include the permitting reform in the short-term continuing resolution (CR) that kept the government running.

After that effort failed, he turned his attention to the NDAA as a potential vehicle for the legislation.

But Manchin has received pushback on the issue, not only from progressive members of his own party like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), but also from Republicans, who have said that they will not aid Democrats’ “political payback scheme,” in the words of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).

“We haven’t even talked about it because it’s not an option,” Sen. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), a prime NDAA negotiator, told reporters.

Outgoing-Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) echoed this attitude, expressing his opposition to including such a bill rider.

As with Klobuchar’s proposal, this likely means that the last-ditch chance for Manchin to pass his permitting reform will be the spending bill still under bicameral negotiation.
<h2>Opposition</h2>
The bill has faced opposition from members of both parties.

The 80 lawmakers who expressed opposition to the bill included 35 Republicans and 45 Democrats.

In a video posted to his Twitter, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) explained why he was among the 80 members who voted against the package.

“The 2023 NDAA is bloated and contains woke elements that do not enhance military readiness,” Biggs said in a caption attached to the video.

In part, he tied his opposition to the haste with which the bill was brought to the floor and then sped through the lower chamber.

“The 4,000-plus page legislation was released to the public just hours before its vote,” Biggs said. “I voted against this monstrosity.”

Others tied their opposition to the inclusion of additional funding for Ukraine.

“Our country is over $31 TRILLION in debt,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1600593390332264449">in a Twitter post.</a> “The NDAA requires the Secretary of Treasury to seek to provide economic support and debt relief for Ukraine.

“You can’t even make this up,” she added.

Many of the Democrats who opposed the measure were left-wing progressives, who have often railed against the nearly $1 trillion annually dedicated to defense spending.

“Just think of the progress we could make if we invested $847 billion in the people rather than the Pentagon,” Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) wrote in a tweet explaining her “no” vote.

She said that the bill “[continued a] legacy of wasteful military spending.”

Lee also expressed disappointment at the exclusion of a bill she proposed that would rescind the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force, which allowed President George W. Bush to mount an invasion of Iraq on a since-debunked claim that Saddam Hussein was housing weapons of mass destruction in the country.

The full list of how each member voted can be found <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2022516">here</a> on the website of the Clerk of the House of Representatives.
<h2>What’s Next for the Bill</h2>
With its passage by the House, the bill will now head to the Senate, where it is likely to pass along largely bipartisan lines, despite the opposition of many members to components of the legislation.

A question mark remains over whether President Biden will sign the bill, as it would undo his August 2021 vaccine mandate.

Still, the bill is a must-pass piece of legislation for the lame-duck Congress, and the White House <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/white-house-leaves-open-possibility-biden-will-sign-bill-that-remove-militarys-covid-19-vaccine-mandate_4909095.html">has left open the prospect</a> that Biden will sign it despite the vaccine mandate provisions.
