U.S. Chamber of Commerce Key Vote Letter on H.R. 5009, 'Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025'

To the Members of the United States Congress:

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce supports the compromise agreement forged by members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committee on H.R. 5009, the "Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025." This bipartisan, bicameral legislation would strengthen and advance the National Defense Strategy and ensure that unfunded procurement, research, and readiness priorities of the services are met. The Chamber will consider including votes related to this legislation in our "How They Voted" scorecard.

We strongly support a robust defense industrial base and flexibility for federal contractors to provide the goods and services that the Department of Defense needs. Chamber members represent nearly all sectors of the federal contracting supply chain, from the smallest components to the largest weapon systems for the Department of Defense. This legislation puts America's servicemembers first and charts a bold path for future National Defense Authorizations.

The Chamber supports this compromise legislation on H.R. 5009, the "Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025."

Sincerely,

Rodney Davis

Senior Vice President
