"We won't be voting on the Senate supplemental in its current form, but we will vote on each of these measures separately in four different pieces. We will vote on the Israel aid, on the aid to Ukraine, on the aid to the Indo Pacific and then another measure that has our national security priorities included in that has some of the things with regard to the loan-lease option and the REPO Act and some other sanctions on Iran and other measures that we've been talking about here for quite some time," he said.
Johnson added that the bills, the text of which is expected early on Tuesday, will allow for members to offer amendments.
He said later that he expects the funding levels to be "roughly the same" as the Senate’s $95 billion bipartisan supplemental aid package, which included money for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and humanitarian causes like Gaza.

Breaking apart the Senate’s supplemental package was an idea backed by a significant share of House Republicans. However, it also appears to be a move aimed at appeasing fiscal hawks on Johnson’s right flank who otherwise would have likely attempted to block the bills from getting to the floor.
The two GOP lawmakers who shared details of the plan with Fox News Digital said there was more support for the plan in the room than opposition.

"We ought not to be borrowing to do any of these, and so some of us will absolutely make amendments to pay for this," he said.
And Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who has threatened to oust Johnson over his handling of government spending and foreign aid, trashed the plan after the meeting.

"I just think it's the wrong direction to go. Our border is the number one policy issue that voters care about all across the country. And the Senate has not taken up…our border package that we sent over there, they're just demanding that the House vote to fund Ukraine, vote to fund Taiwan and send more money to Israel, claiming that our military is running out of ammunition," Greene said.
"Well, you want to know something? If these people in there cared about our military, why don't we do a separate bill to fund and rebuild our military with ammunition and supplies without having to fund a foreign war to do that?"
