I want to thank Ranking Member Senator Kaine for his continued leadership on defense issues and eagerness to work together in a bipartisan manner on behalf of our men and women in uniform.
One of the issues that we put in the 2016 NDAA was a concern that the new long-term TDY [temporary duty] policy may be discouraging excellent, excellent workers from going to other shipyards because of the cost of it and also, you know, putting a burden on them that doesn't allow them to stay similarly situated if they had stayed homeside.
I hope that those who are hiking up these prices take notice that we notice.
I have certainly written--and I know others here in Congress have also--on this issue.
