SASC COMPLETES MARKUP OF NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024

Press Release

"Our nation faces the most dangerous moment since World War II, and my top priority is to deliver our service members the tools and capabilities they need to keep us safe. Our achievements in this year's NDAA would advance American national defense and help take care of our service members and their families.

"I feel strongly that the bill as reported does not adequately fund our defense needs, and I will work to increase the Department of Defense top level as the bill progresses. This is the best way to deter conflict around the globe. I am glad Chairman Reed has also expressed support for higher defense expenditures.

"It was an honor to lead my first markup of the National Defense Authorization Act as Ranking Member alongside my friend and colleague Chairman Reed. I look forward to bringing this NDAA to the Senate floor soon. It is imperative that we advance this legislation without delay."
