WASHINGTON: After holding his fire since the budget release, the head of the House Armed Services Committee today made clear he’ll oppose the Trump Administration’s Space Force proposal. Rep. Adam Smith waited until the day before Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan appears before his committee with Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, to begin hammering out the 2020 defense budget and the NDAA.

You can expect Smith to table a separate bill on the Space Force. It will not be included in the House version of the National Defense Authorization Act, I understand.
