Pentagon voices ‘significant concern’ with many NDAA provisions
Opinion by John M. Donnelly • 15h


Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III has sent to leaders of the Armed Services panels a 15-page letter detailing his serious worries about several dozen pending provisions in the House or Senate NDAAs.

Some of these are “topics of significant concern,” Austin wrote in the Sept. 26 letter, obtained by CQ Roll Call. “lf left unaddressed, certain provisions in the House-passed or Senate-proposed bills will substantially impact the Department’s ability to accomplish our strategic goals.”
 
House and Senate negotiators have begun reconciling the House-passed fiscal 2025 NDAA with the Senate Armed Services Committee’s version and hope to clear a bicameral measure later this year.

‘Heartburn’
