U.S. Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, issued the following statement today after voting for the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

"I am pleased this bill stays within the current budget caps because the greatest long-term security threat to our nation is the inability to get our fiscal house in order," said Corker. "As this legislation advances, I hope we continue to make prudent fiscal decisions that allow us to provide our men and women in uniform -- including the tens of thousands who call Tennessee home -- the tools they need to defend our nation from a variety of threats at home and abroad. By setting priorities and investing responsibly, we can maintain a strong national defense at a time when U.S. leadership around the world matters more than ever."
