EXCERPT:
MCCONNELL: “Today, the Senate will set up final vote for tomorrow, Wednesday, for this chamber to follow suit. Soon, this important legislation will be passed into law. President Trump is rightly noted this year’s defense bill does not contain every provision that we Republicans would have wanted. I am confident the Democratic colleagues feel the same way. But that is the case every year. And yet, for 59 consecutive years and counting Washington has put our differences aside, found common ground, and passed the annual defense bill. Not once in six decades has Congress let differences prevent it from completing this work for our national security and our men and women that wear the uniform. This year’s NDAA will continue our momentum in rebuilding and modernizing our armed forces, it will authorize the personnel, equipment, tools and training we need to reinforce the national defense strategy and to deter great power rivals like China and Russia.”
