Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Readiness, issued the following statement after the House Armed Services Committee completed the markup of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2019. This legislation funds our military and vital national security projects.

"This year's National Defense Authorization Act builds off the progress made in the past year and focuses on rebuilding our armed services, a priority of President Donald Trump and House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry, and provides our men and women in uniform the support necessary to succeed.

"We have focused this year's NDAA on decreasing the number of tragic training accidents, ensuring the United States is preparing for the re-emergence of global competitors, and curbing the nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea. Today, with bipartisan support, the House Armed Services Committee showed that we have prioritized our resources on promoting peace through strength."
