U.S. Rep. Adam Smith Applauds Passage of Specific Puget Sound Provisions Included in the FY 2006 DoD Authorization Bill

May 26, 2005 - "I am pleased that H.R. 1815, the Fiscal Year 2006 Department of Defense (DoD) Authorization bill, passed the House of Representatives with broad bipartisan support," said U.S. Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA). "As a Member of the House Armed Services Committee, I was proud to help craft this legislation through the committee process and on the Floor of the House. While not perfect, the Defense Authorization bill is a positive step forward in providing our Veterans and servicemen and women the resources they deserve. This bill includes a number of provisions to support the members of our Armed Forces and our Veterans and also includes much-needed improvements in troop strength and equipment. Importantly, this legislation moves toward ending the injustice of the Disabled Veteran's Tax and it improves bonuses for the men and women in our Guard and Reserve forces."
