SAVE THE DATE: Bipartisan staff briefing to discuss NDAA amendments
In a time of fiscal austerity, when Congress is supposed to be tightening belts, the NDAA requests an addition $5 billion for war funding and as well as to pay structures that the Pentagon doesn’t want. There are opportunities for bipartisan agreement on amendments to the NDAA that achieve smart savings at the Pentagon.
This week, two major consensus documents — one from a bipartisan group of 10 defense organizations from across the political spectrum, and the other from staunch fiscal conservatives — recommend major cuts and reforms in Pentagon spending that could save billions.
Join us to hear from these and other experts on the FY14 NDAA.
