The bill my committee advanced today is a direct reflection of the severity of that threat environment, as well as the rapidly evolving landscape of war. My colleagues and I have prioritized reindustrialization and the structural rebuilding of the arsenal of democracy. Accordingly, we have set forth historic reforms to modernize the Pentagon’s budgeting and acquisition operations. Senator Reed’s partnership shows the bipartisan support for doing more to maintain deterrence and protect American interests. I look forward to advancing the bill toward final passage to secure President Trump’s Peace Through Strength agenda." Source: Sen. Roger Wicker (Republican, Mississippi)

From rising tensions in the Indo-Pacific to renewed aggression from Russia and the persistent threat of terrorism and cyberattacks, the United States faces a global security environment unlike any in recent memory. This legislation invests in the servicemembers, technology, and capabilities we need to deter our adversaries and defend our national interests. I thank Chairman Wicker and our colleagues on both sides of the aisle for advancing this bill to prioritize the safety and security of the American people." Source: Sen. Jack Reed (Democrat, Rhode Island)

•    "This year’s NDAA is a bold victory for President Trump’s Peace Through Strength agenda and a decisive investment in America’s national security. As a Marine and Member of Congress, it is a deep honor to shape policy for the future of our military. This year’s NDAA enhances our military’s readiness, competitiveness, and lethality. I will never stop fighting to ensure our warfighters have every tool they need to win – anytime, anywhere." Source: Rep. Rich McCormick (Republican, Georgia, District 7)
