Wittman's Weekly: Setting Defense Policy for FY20
September 21, 2019
Weekly Updates
In recent years, we have made a lot of progress in rebuilding our military readiness. This is due in large part to the House Armed Services Committee's nonpartisan tradition of resourcing defense, which has led to 58 consecutive years of enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The long-standing spirit of collaboration culminated last year with the enactment of the fiscal 2019 NDAA prior to the start of the fiscal year; a feat that had not been accomplished in 22 years. Paradoxically we were able to do this with one of the most ideologically disparate Congresses in history.

Wittman's Weekly: No More Continuing Resolutions
September 14, 2019
Weekly Updates
In the age of procrastination and irresponsible spending in Washington, continuing resolutions (CR) have become a comfortable fall back for Congress. Instead of buckling down and getting spending bills done on time through measured debate, lawmakers look to last-minute, stop-gap measures to fund the federal government. The last time Congress was able to maintain regular operations without a continuing resolution was in 1996—two decades ago. I believe it's time for Congress to move past the age of governing by crisis.
