Defense Appropriations Bill

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of this
year's fiscal 2016 Defense Appropriations bill.

As we rapidly approach the final vote on this year's bill, I want to
recognize the outstanding work that the Appropriations Committee has
done in crafting this year's bill.

I am proud to represent the First Congressional District of Georgia,
which is the proud home of Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base, Hunter Army
Airfield, Moody Air Force Base, and Fort Stewart. These installations
are the foundation of many critical missions that continue to support
our troops abroad and our American citizens at home.

I am pleased and grateful that this year's appropriations bill
supports the First District's important missions, and I commend the
committee for its accomplishments, all while operating under budget.

Through this bill, the Georgia First's military installations and
their personnel will continue receiving funding for critical missions
that will ensure future success for our servicemen and -women. I urge
all of my colleagues to support this bill.
