Speaker, the House and Senate Armed Services
Committees have demonstrated admirable bipartisanship in completing
this year's NDAA. This past weekend, as I celebrated Veterans Day in the Dallas/Fort
Worth area by honoring local veterans, we spoke about the importance of
taking care of our servicemembers, and I think this year's NDAA does a
good job in doing that. I am very proud of the assistance to legal permanent residents who
serve in our Armed Forces in understanding their naturalization
options. I am also very happy about investments we made in improving
diversity, such as the DOD Cyber Scholarship Program, grants for women
and minorities in STEM, and funding for HBCUs. I think that these
investments will yield a diverse and stronger national defense
workforce for our country's future.
