WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator and Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) member Kevin Cramer (R-ND) delivered remarks on the Senate floor today urging House Democrats to focus on passing the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
“While Senate Republicans want to provide for our national defense, House Democrats are spending today running a taxpayer-funded kangaroo court,” said Senator Cramer. “It is maddening to see the important work we need to do be discarded in favor of political theater. I urge House Democrats to come to the table to pass this year’s NDAA.”
Senator Cramer began his remarks highlighting the provisions in this year’s NDAA important to North Dakota. He also defended the efforts of SASC Chairman Inhofe from attacks by House Armed Services Chairman Adam Smith, who questioned the Chairman’s honesty and falsely claimed he does not want to pass an NDAA this year.
