"The House on Thursday afternoon sent the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act to the Senate floor for consideration next week.

The legislation, which passed the House 350-80, carries a number of energy and environment riders, including authorizing billions of dollars for water infrastructure projects and environmental cleanups (E&E Daily, Dec. 7).
