House Moves to Fund Military & Increase Troop Pay

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) appointed 44 House Republican lawmakers to serve on a bipartisan conference committee charged with producing a final National Defense Authorization Act to fund the military and secure the homeland.

“This legislation gives our military the tools and funding it needs to do its job and keep Americans safe,” said Speaker Ryan. “It also gives our men and women in uniform a well-deserved raise. If there’s anyone who deserves an increase in pay, it’s those who risk their lives every day for the safety of this country. I’m proud of the work done so far, and I look forward to sending this bill to the president’s desk.”
