"Bobby" Scott | S000185 | bobbyscott.house.gov | bobbyscott | https://bobbyscott.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Bobby Scott issued the following statement after voting for theConference Report to Accompany H.R. 2670, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024: “The FY24 NDAA provides a well-deserved pay raise and support to servicemembers, guarantees the defense of the American people, and invests in our national security. As the representative of Hampton Roads and a member of the conference committee, I am proud that the final bill supports our region’s shipbuilding industrial base with provisions that include one Columbia-class submarine and two Virginia-class submarines as well as authorizing a multi-year procurement for the Virginia-class submarine program and full funding for the Ford Class aircraft carrier program. The conference report also includes an authorization for the AUKUS agreement, allowing for a trilateral security partnership between the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia that will authorize the transfer and sale of up to three Virginia-class submarines to Australia. This will strengthen the naval presence of a key ally in the region and create jobs in Newport News. It additionally includes a deadline for a report I requested in last year’s NDAA, focused on efforts made to prevent and respond to deaths by suicide in the Navy. “As the Ranking Member of the Committee on Education and the Workforce, I am pleased the conference report also includes historic investments to strengthen research at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Serving Institutions. This funding to support researchers and modernize research facilities at these institutions is critical to our national security and competitive edge in the global economy. “I am thankful that many culture war provisions included in the original House-passed version of this year’s NDAA were ultimately rejected, such as amendments to attack reproductive freedom for women in uniform. Divided government leads to some compromises that must be made. Ultimately, this was legislation that would support servicemembers and protect our national security and I look forward to seeing it signed into law.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |
