The amendment requires the Department of Defense to issue an impact report detailing what a reduction in the commissary benefit will have on eligible beneficiaries:\r\n\u201cCommissaries, like the ones at Fallon Naval Air Station and Nellis Air Force Base, offer significant savings that our nation\u2019s military families rely on during these difficult economic times. I find the Department of Defense\u2019s proposal to slash funding for commissaries to be wrong and unfair. The Pentagon should not balance its budget on the back of our military community. As a member of the Senate Committee on Veterans\u2019 Affairs, I am pleased to see this amendment included in the FY2015 NDAA. No matter where these brave men and women are serving, they should never have to worry their earned benefits will be cut.\u201d\u00a0\r\nAttached is a copy of the amendment in PDF format.\u00a0\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://www.heller.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ContentRecord_id=02f599de-45b1-4308-9555-c49e88358281"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4836830087006092, "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"}
