In addition to the Capitol Police, the National Guard could be forced to cut back on training in August if new money is not appropriated. The National Guard outlined the slew of training programs and spending that would have to be cut if Congress does not provide them funding by August 1. The House passed a $1.9 billion security supplemental in May, but the legislation has languished in the Senate. The National Guard, who poured into the Capitol from every State, now may need to cut training that they need to prepare for overseas deployments or response at home,” Leahy said. Senate Republicans went so far as to offer Democrats a stripped down funding package that directly addressed the urgent needs of the Capitol Police and the National Guard.
