Turner Strengthens National Security

Statement

This week, the House of Representatives passed the Conference Report for the Department of Defense (DoD) and Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2019. This bill will now go to the President to be signed into law. Once signed, this will mark the first time in years Congress has ensured on time funding to our military.

"After years of harmful sequestration and continuing resolutions, I am thrilled Congress has sent DoD appropriations to the President's desk on time this year," said Chairman Mike Turner (OH-10) of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces. "Year after year, hearing after hearing, we are briefed on the potential devastating impact on our military when Congress doesn't do its job. This bill ensures our men and women in uniform get the funding they need on time."
