Paul Mitchell (MI-10), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, released the following statement after the House passed the final version of the Fiscal Year 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, commonly known as the NDAA: "Today I was proud to vote for the NDAA, a bill that fulfills Congress' core duty of providing for the common defense and supports the men and women of our armed forces. Once this year's NDAA becomes law it will be the 60th straight year this has been accomplished. I'm particularly pleased this year's NDAA contains provisions based on my No Passport Fees for Heroes Family's Act, legislation I wrote that will make it easier for family members to visit injured servicemen and women overseas. The bill also contains provisions I offered that would address deficiencies in the Department of Defense's basing process for headquarters, units, and weapons systems such as the F-35 and measures that will help modernize our military by bringing innovative thinkers and companies into the Department of Defense via National Security Innovation Partnerships. Earlier this year I also worked with my colleagues across the aisle on a measure that will require all federal law enforcement personnel to display their name and identification on their uniforms, which adds necessary transparency whenever federal authorities are used. Finally, the NDAA contains many other important provisions, such as a pay raise for our troops, new tools to deter China and Russia, a prohibition on retiring A-10s,and protections for America's supply chain. Today's bipartisan vote affirms the importance of the NDAA for our military personnel and national security. I call on the Senate to pass this vital legislation as fast as possible and for President Trump to sign it into law. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
