“I appreciate Chairman Rogers' leadership on this legislation. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in favor of the Fiscal Year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act. This bill prioritizes our military, safeguards their rights, and puts forward a fighting force that will stand against those who threaten the United States of America.

This bill fully funds modernization of our nuclear triad, establishes the nuclear sea- launched cruise missile as a program of record, prevents the Biden administration from attempting to retire any element of our nuclear arsenal, and prohibits them from sharing nuclear information with Russia until the Russians reciprocate.
