ICYMI: Womack Addresses Defense Appropriations on House FloorIn a speech on the House Floor, Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) yesterday spoke in support of H.R. 4870, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2015. H.R. 4870 was subsequently passed today by the House with bipartisan support. The bill provides the Department of Defense (DoD) $491 billion in discretionary spending and $79.4 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) for fiscal year 2015.
“Our subcommittee – and our committee as a whole – is keenly aware of our nation’s deficits and debt. We are committed to thoroughly evaluating our spending to ensure our defense officials, both military and civilian, are accountable for smart policy objectives that responsibly steward taxpayer dollars. We’ve had months of hearings, classified briefings, and bipartisan cooperation, and I believe we have successfully accomplished a bill, a good, bipartisan bill, that is worthy of support.” The full video can be found here. ### |
