Today, I would like to thank Chairman Rogers for his leadership in bringing this critical piece of legislation vital to the national security of our nation to the floor for the 65th consecutive year. This year's NDA puts our war fighters first by streamlining procurement and ensuring they receive the capabilities needed to counter the increasingly sophisticated actions of our adversaries, particularly the People's Republic of China. Through the Intelligence and Special Operations Subcommittee, we were able to ensure our Special Operations forces, the Defense Intelligence Enterprise and the Defense Security Cooperation Agency had the tools required to execute the Department's efforts in strategic competition and countering malign influence.
