Following the unveiling of a Senate and House agreement on the Fiscal Year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) yesterday, Senator Shaheen announced her priorities that were included in the bill. Among them are provisions to fund the development of the KC-46A scheduled to be based at Pease Air National Guard Base as well as funding the infrastructure necessary to support the tanker's mission. Senator Shaheen is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee which authored this legislation with their counterparts in the House, that funds U.S. national security priorities and directs national defense policy.

"In Congress, one of our most important responsibilities is ensuring that our service men and women receive the resources they need to defend our country," said Shaheen. "I'm pleased that this defense bill bolsters New Hampshire's important role in our national security."
