众议院已批准了一项2014财年的支出措施，该措施将修剪国防部和退伍军人事务部的建筑计划。

The bill, which the House passed on June 4 by an overwhelming 421-4 vote, provides $9.95 billion for DOD construction, down $670 million, or 6%, from pre-sequester fiscal 2013 levels.

措施第一2014财政年度拨款法案to clear either chamber of Congress—also slashes the VA major-projects construction account 36%, to $342 million, which is the amount President Obama sought in his budget request.

On the plus side, VA’s minor-projects construction program would get an 18% boost, to $715 million, the same as the Obama administration request.

众议院拨款委员会主席哈罗德·罗杰斯（Harold Rogers）（R-ky）说：“我们采取了艰难但负责任的步骤来减少军事建筑资金，以抵消[整体] VA支出的增加，但我们在不影响军事准备或有效性的情况下减少了这些减少。透明

Construction unions were pleased that the House defeated an amendment offered by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) that would have prohibited funding "to implement, administer or enforce" Davis-Bacon Act prevailing-wage requirements on military and VA construction projects.

AFL-CIO建筑和建筑部门总裁Sean McGarvey赞扬了投票，并表示值得注意的是，对《国王修正案》的231个“否”投票包括36名共和党人。192年的“是”投票都来自共和党议员。

The Associated Builders and Contractors is “disappointed in the outcome,” said ABC spokesman Gerry Fritz.

查看支出法案的“ MIL CON”部分中的细节，空军建设将超过两倍，达到11亿，但陆军建设将下降35％，至11亿美元。

该措施将军事家庭住房建设，运营和维护支出减少6％，至15亿美元。该委员会说，减少是由于国防部家庭住房的私有化而产生的储蓄。
