House Speaker Mike Johnson and the White House are hoping to push a narrow reconciliation bill through the House by the end of next week that would include very few Republican priorities and focus mostly on defense and farm aid, multiple sources told NOTUS.

The working plan is for the bill to have sections from four committees: the House Administration Committee, the House Armed Services Committee, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Agriculture Committee.

The bill will include $70 billion for the war in Iran and defense, $20 billion for agriculture, mostly relief funds, and the SAVE America Act.
