Jon Fox said "I thank the chairman for his outstanding leadership in moving forward the National Defense Authorization Act. This bill is very important because it supports troops and their families by ensuring quality medical care for military families and enhances military readiness by increasing key underfunded readiness accounts. It funds key modernization programs identified by the service chiefs and, Mr. Chairman, it also builds a smarter Pentagon for innovation reform. Finally, I think what is very important for our colleagues and our constituents, it ensures veterans preference protection. I believe that this legislation is very much one that should be embraced by both sides of the aisle, and I look forward to its passage." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
