Dear HW:
Thank you for contacting me about key provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) currently under conference. I appreciate the benefit of your views.
I intend to stand in the interests of our nation’s millions of veterans and active duty personnel by supporting many key provisions in this year’s defense reauthorization that will provide greater services and cost-saving benefits. With so many differences between the two versions of the bill, there are many spending issues that my staff and I are reviewing to provide the maximum impact on our armed services and their families while subsequently keeping governmental spending in check. Your input is very helpful to me in determining how to strike this balance and I will do all that I can to make sure your voice – and the voice of millions of other Illinoisans – is heard during the conference of the NDAA between the two houses of congress.
I will continue to listen closely to what you and other Illinoisans have to say about matters before Congress, the concerns of our communities, and the issues facing Illinois and the nation. My job is not only about supporting or opposing legislation; it is also about bridging the divide that has paralyzed our nation’s politics.
Sincerely,
Roland W. Burris
United States Senator
