The legislation now heads to President Biden\u2019s desk to be signed into law.\n\n\u201cI am proud to support this year\u2019s National Defense Authorization Act, which authorizes investments in the core strength of our national defense: service members, civilian workers, and their families,\u201d said Congresswoman DeLauro. \u201cIt also supports our domestic industrial base, particularly the union workforce right here in Connecticut, while strengthening our military readiness through support to our allies and partners and paving the way for investments in innovation and technology. I am also pleased that 147 House Republicans just voted to authorize the funding levels determined under the bipartisan budget agreement, and I look forward to Speaker Johnson taking that bills passage as a sign that it is time to move forward with appropriations bills under those levels. We must immediately get to work negotiating a final 2024 defense funding bill.\u201d\n\nThis bill authorizes funding for key projects that grow and sustain thousands of jobs in Connecticut:\n\nCH-53K Helicopters \u2013 funding to build 15 Sikorsky helicopters.\n\nBlackhawk Helicopters \u2013 funding to build 50 Sikorsky Blackhawk.\n\nF135 Engine Modernization \u2013$431 million for the F135 Engine Core Upgrade.\n\nVirginia-class Submarine \u2013 $10.3 billion to support the two-per-year build rate of Virginia-class submarines along with $7.1 billion in 2024 for two submarines and $3.2 billion in support of future submarine construction in 2025 and 2026.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://delauro.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/delauro-statement-house-passage-national-defense-authorization-act"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6682641580700874, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
