Press Release

U.S. Senator Gary Peters (MI), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, authored several provisions and amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which sets policy for the Department of Defense (DoD) for Fiscal Year 2018. The legislation was approved by the Senate Armed Services Committee this week.

"The National Defense Authorization Act will bolster American leadership around the world and provide our brave men and women in uniform with the support needed to complete their missions safely and effectively," said Senator Peters, a former Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy Reserve. "I am pleased that this legislation includes a number of my provisions to strengthen American presence among our NATO allies in Eastern Europe, help small businesses as they apply for federal contracts, make critical improvements and upgrades to our military assets, and better address mental health concerns for servicemembers."
