Thank you, Chairwoman Granger. I appreciate your leadership and your continued support of our men and women in uniform.

The fiscal year 2024 Defense Appropriations bill provides $826.45 billion for the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community.
This is $286 million above the President's request and $27.8 billion above the Fiscal Year 2023 enacted level.
The stated mission of the Department of Defense is "to provide the military forces needed to deter war and ensure our nation's security." Our bill does exactly that by focusing on the DOD's most vital task – protecting our homeland and our national interests.
