Today, the House Passed H.R. 1735, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016. Upon passage, Chairman Thornberry (R-TX), of the House Armed Services Committee, made the following statement:
"I want to thank all of the Members who worked so hard and contributed so much to this product. The important reforms to the acquisition process, workforce management, and troop benefits could not have happened without contributions from across this chamber. I especially want to thank those members who contributed to this bill and voted for final passage. We have never before faced such a diverse array of serious threats. To meet them, we must preserve our agility while we recruit and retain the very best. This bill is an important step in that direction."
