Kurt Schrader: “Very, very concerned that if we double down on that, that would be not good for Americans.”

I do not believe we should be cutting the defense budget like some folks have talked about.

We reduce the out-of-pocket expense for seniors to $2,000 a year that they can pay over the course of the year to make it as affordable as possible to them.

I want that to occur in America. I want it to occur in the districts that some of these members in this room represent, and I think we found that balance.

The success that WRDA has had during these divided times is a testament to the committee's willingness to work across the aisle.
