Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady, (R-TX), released the following statement on the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2016, which authorizes funding for the U.S. Department of Defense.
“Today the House has spoken, again, that we will not allow the White House to hollow out our national defense. I will continue to stand with our armed forces to make sure they have the tools and support needed to defend our freedom and maintain security.
The war on terror is upon us. The Islamic State is challenging our nation’s security around the world – including right here in America. I voted to support the only barrier standing between terrorist attacks and a secure nation.”
Background: The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2016 authorizes the necessary funding for the U.S. Department of Defense so our service men and women have the tools and resources they need to defend our nation. The annual defense authorization fulfills Congress’ Constitutional responsibility to "provide for the common Defense.”
