“I want to take a minute to thank Ranking Member Rogers for his tremendous leadership. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act. Not only does this bill authorize the necessary investments to maintain our global competitiveness in the face of increasing Chinese and Russian aggression, but it takes critical steps to protect our men and women in uniform. In particular, this bill authorizes almost $200 million in lifesaving technology to prevent Humvee rollovers. I am honored to represent Red River Army Depot where a significant portion of this work will be done. The investment will save the American taxpayers $12.8 billion compared to the Army's original plan, and it will save countless lives. Madam Speaker, I thank the ranking member and all of our colleagues on the Armed Services Committee for their work on this, and I urge final passage of this bill.”
