I'm particularly proud that the House and Senate conferees agreed to include several of my amendments in the final conference report. This NDAA will ensure that DOD tuition assistance for active duty service members is protected, that stronger accountability measures are implemented towards predatory for-profit colleges, and that requirements in the U.S. Air Force contracting process are expanded so that small businesses in South Florida can compete on a level playing field with our nation's largest defense contractors. \r\nFor more information on the provisions included in the NDAA, please click here.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://shalala.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2205"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8991281501948833, "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"}
