WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Representative Mike Rogers (R-AL), Lead Republican
of the House Armed Services Committee, released a statement applauding the
committee passage of the FY22 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).  

“Nothing is more important than providing for the defense of our nation.
We face threats from a rising China and a re-emerging Russia, and the
Biden-Harris administration chose to propose a weak defense budget. 

"I am pleased that the Armed Services Committee once again passed a
National Defense Authorization Act out of the Committee this morning. We
did so in a bipartisan manner, including voting together to address the
shortfall in the Biden budget. I thank Chairman Smith and our Republican
and Democrat colleagues for their hard work on this year’s NDAA markup. I
look forward to this bill moving to the floor and being signed into law."
