WASHINGTON U.S. Rep. John Katko (NY-24) this week voted in favor of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a bipartisan, bicameral bill that authorizes the budget and expenditures for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) for Fiscal Year 2022.

The NDAA, which now heads to the Senate, contains several Katko-authored measures including the Domains Critical to Homeland Security Act, a bill that directs the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to identify and address risks within the American supply chain. Rep. Katko recently discussed this measure with local manufacturers and business groups at a roundtable he hosted on the supply chain crisis.

Additionally, for U.S. servicemembers, the NDAA also authorizes a 2.7% pay increase, expands parental leave and childcare programs, and reverses the Biden Administrations cuts to military healthcare programs.

I proudly cast my vote in favor of the National Defense Authorization Act, an annual bill that delivers funding for the Department of Defense, said Rep. Katko. Importantly for Central New York, this years measure includes key federal funding to support manufacturers and workers in Central New York. As our nation continues to face supply chain challenges, this measure also includes a bill I drafted to identify and address areas of concern within our nations supply chain.
