Wittman votes in favor of House passage of FY21NDAA
Washington,
July 21, 2020
Today, Congressman Rob Wittman (VA-01), Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces, voted in favor of H.R.6395, the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21 NDAA). “I am glad that I was able to support such a bipartisan piece of legislation,” Congressman Wittman said. “Several measures that I championed for our warfighters and those who support them passed in this bill. “Our area is home to one of the largest populations of military members, their families, and the hardworking Americans who develop and support the platforms, systems, and programs that our warfighters use to execute their critical missions around the globe. These measures support our military community throughout our nation and the Commonwealth. Advocating for these individuals is one of my top priorities, and I am proud of the provisions in the FY21 NDAA that put our military community first. “After more than 600 amendments and more than 12 hours of debate, we arrived at a good, bipartisan markup that was brought to the Floor. At the end of our process, I believe the Mac Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act is a solid bill that will do good by our service members. I look forward to working with my colleagues through the Conference Committee process where I will be working to advance the aspects of the bill that bring lethality and capability to the force and stripping any unnecessary partisan riders that found its way into the bill on the floor.” Areas of note that Congressman Wittman was pivotal in crafting to accelerate national security from the Seapower Subcommittee in the FY21 NDAA include:
