The Senate will consider the bill in the next month, and will have the ability to introduce amendments. Ultimately, both houses will go to conference if there is a substantive difference between the proposals, and it will be reconciled.

So it depends on whether a Senator introduces amendments to FY15 Defense Appropriations that will affect this portion.

Massie has a strong ally in Rand Paul, so he and Wyden on the Democrat side will be champions of this against the usual GOP hawks and Democrat Senate leadership.

We have enough liberty-minded Senators to get this done if public opinion is behind them. I'm pleased with the strength of the support so far, but the old guard will fight this tooth and nail.
