Durbin Statement On Senate Passage Of NDAA

Statement

Date: July 27, 2023
Location: Chicago, IL
Issues: Defense Government Budget and Spending

"Today, the Senate passed the NDAA as a strong, bipartisan show of support for our national defense and for the commitment of our men and women in uniform. I'm pleased to see the inclusion of significant investments in Illinois, as well as in the service members stationed at the state's military installations.

While I am frustrated that the bill continues restrictions on closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay, this version of the NDAA contains many important provisions--including funding to support Ukraine and to modernize our military installations--and rejects the poison pills included in the House version."
