FOXX VOTES TO GIVE TROOPS MORE EQUIPMENT, TRAINING

This afternoon, U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx (N.C.-5) demonstrated her ongoing commitment to U.S. troops and their families by voting to pass an $81.4 billion wartime supplemental bill. H.R. 1268 provides the funds necessary to continue fighting the War on Terror while providing our men and women in uniform with vital equipment and training.

"Our country is fortunate to have the best-trained and most dedicated soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines in the world," said Rep. Foxx. "The funds included in this supplemental bill will help ensure that our troops have the proper supplies and protective gear they need to stay safe and carry out their missions."

"I believe in exercising fiscal restraint whenever possible," said Rep. Foxx. "Protecting our country and taking care of our men and women in uniform should be our top priority."
