Messer Votes to Support Americas Troops, Invest in National Security | 2016-12-02 | 2016 | 2016-12 | Republican | House | IN | Luke Messer | M001189 | messer.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON (Friday, Dec. 2, 2016) — Rep. Luke Messer (IN-06) today voted to pass the National Defense Authorization Act, which boosts support for America’s military and helps defend our country against radical Islamic terrorism. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2017 (S. 2943) authorizes a $619 billion national defense budget which includes provisions to: Provide military members with the largest pay raise in six years Strengthen military health care Enhance military training and readiness Stop Obama’s drawdown of troops which has threatened our status on the world stage Prohibit any further transfers of terrorist prisoners from Guantanamo Bay prison to U.S. soil Invest in cybersecurity defense “Our number one job in Congress is to provide for a national defense and keep Americans safe,” Messer said. “America’s military must be second to none as we face unprecedented threats abroad and work to defeat radical Islamic extremism. This bill invests in our national security and our troops, ensuring America is ready to meet to these challenges head on. Just as importantly, it gives our military members the pay raise they deserve and the quality care they need.” S. 2943 passed the House of Representatives today and will need approval by the U.S. Senate to move to the president’s desk. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
