Rep. Harris Issues Statement on NDAA Passage

WASHINGTON, DC: On May 24, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 5515, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019. Congressman Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01) issued the following statement lauding the bill’s passage:

“Today, the House of Representatives passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY19. The NDAA gives our military a well-deserved pay raise – the largest increase in nine years – and increases funding for training programs in every branch. This legislation also provides critical funding to repair worn out equipment and crumbling military buildings. Our military men and women serve our nation selflessly, and Congress is giving our troops the support they need to protect us.”
