Issues: Defense Government Budget and Spending

Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) released the following statement after the House passed the Conference Report to accompany H.R. 1735, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY2016, with his support by a bipartisan vote of 270-156:

"Our Armed Forces continue to risk their lives to protect this nation and confront serious threats like ISIS, al Qaeda and the Taliban. This fiscally responsible, bipartisan legislation reforms the DOD acquisition process, reduces bureaucracy, provides a much deserved pay increase for our troops and ensures our men and women in uniform have the equipment they need to protect this nation.

"I will continue to advocate for a defense budget that balances our commitment to our troops, provides for a strong defense, and provides assurance to taxpayers that precious defense dollars are being spent on valuable initiatives. I call on President Obama to sign this commonsense legislation into law and drop his veto threat. Our troops don't deserve to be treated as pawns in his political games."
