Congressman Mike Bishop issued the following statement in support:\r\nCongress has a critical responsibility to provide for our Armed Forces, and Im proud to do so with our NDAA legislation today. Not only is it imperative to ensure our troops have the necessary equipment and assistance to perform to the best of their ability, but they deserve to know we have their best interest at the core of what we do here in Washington. Thats why our 2018 NDAA bill includes the largest troop pay raise in eight years. Our brave men and women in uniform fight for our freedom every single day, and they absolutely deserve this kind of support, and more, in return.\r\nFor more information, visit theHouse Armed Services Committee website.\r\n \r\n    \r\n    BIPARTISANSHIP ALERT:Earlier this year, the House passed their version of the FY 2018 NDAA by a vote of 344-81.
