Political Quotes

“I support this bipartisan en bloc amendment that was worked in advance with the minority. I also want to take a minute to completely foot-stomp what my friend, the ranking member, just said about the staff, not only the House Armed Services staff on both sides of the aisle, who have just done incredible work, but the floor staff here and the Rules Committee staff in moving what is the biggest bill that this Congress has to move each year in such an expeditious fashion. They are all to be commended, and I thank them all. Mr. Chair, I can't overstate how much I appreciate the ranking member and his partnership and leadership in this process. This is a good bill. It is a very important bill. It reforms the Pentagon's broken acquisition system; continues historic improvements in the quality of life of our servicemembers and their families; builds a ready, capable, and lethal fighting force necessary to deter global threats; and enacts President Trump's Peace Through Strength agenda. I urge all Members to support final passage of the bill.”
