This is About Our Troops

Speaker Paul Ryan  http://spkrryan.us/2fF1gtb Tomorrow the House will vote on final passage of the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This bill which continues a more-than-five-decade tradition of bipartisan support funds our troops and helps keep Americans safe. You can get the full details here but in short the 2017 NDAA:

• Boosts base funding by $9 billion over the administrations request to close the readiness gap rebuild our military and ensure our troops have the tools necessary to carry out their missions.
• Provides our troops with the largest pay raisetheyve seen in six years at 2.1 percent.
• Reforms our acquisition processto spend taxpayer dollars more wisely and get our troops cutting-edge technology quickly and efficiently.
• Maintains longstanding provisions to prohibit transferring Guantanamo Bay detainees to American soil.
• Helps combat sexual assaultin the military by building upon past efforts with an improved reporting process and mandatory sentences for certain offenses.

A central plank of the House Republican #BetterWay agenda is to rebuild our military support our troops and protect our homeland. This is exactly what this years NDAA will help us accomplish. We expect a strong vote tomorrow and urge President Obama to sign this critical bill into law once it reaches his desk.
