Mister speaker, I want to thank Chairman Mike Rogers for his leadership for including language to improve the safety of us service members in the NDAA. My provision would establish a new joint Safety Council requirements for each military branch to develop a plan to identify corrective and preventive actions following major accidents and mishaps. Earlier this year, I introduced the military Equipment Quality and Safety Reform act, or Miss R Act, which includes a similar mandate. (00:09–00:23)
