My Opening Statement for the Mark-up of the NDAA

Published: 5/19/2010
My opening statement for the mark-up of the National Defense Authorization Act. For those who would like some clarification: The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) sets the budget and policy parameters for the Department of Defense. The drafting of this legislation in the House Armed Services Committee, commonly known as the mark-up, involves adding amendments to the draft provided by the Chairman of the committee known as the Chairman's mark, or just the mark. Once all amendments to the mark have been debated and voted on, the Committee will pass the legislation and committee report to be considered and voted on by the full House of Representatives.
