Washington, D.C. - U.S. Rep. Randy Weber of Texas released a statement expressing his disappointment and opposition to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2024. In his statement, Rep. Weber highlighted the conservative nature of the NDAA passed by House Republicans earlier in the year, which included measures to address taxpayer-funded travel abortions, gender transition surgeries, and the Left's climate agenda.

"I was proud to vote for this bill and knew compromise from the Senate was inevitable," Rep. Weber said. However, he expressed his belief that the NDAA voted on recently is not suitable for America. He emphasized the need for the United States to act as the strongest military force in the world and not to prioritize President Joe Biden's radical agenda over the military's needs.

Rep. Weber also expressed concern about the inclusion of a "clean" reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in the NDAA. He stated, "It is imperative that we strengthen our Fourth Amendment and stop the corrupt upper echelon of the federal government from spying on everyday Americans." Unfortunately, the Congress reauthorized the status quo, according to Rep. Weber.

The National Defense Authorization Act is an important piece of legislation that outlines the budget and policies for the Department of Defense. It is typically passed annually and serves as a crucial framework for the country's national defense strategy. However, disagreement and differing priorities among lawmakers can lead to opposition and debates surrounding its provisions.

Rep. Weber's opposition to the NDAA reflects his concerns about the direction and priorities outlined in the bill. He believes that the United States should focus on strengthening its military and protecting the rights of its citizens, rather than advancing a radical agenda or maintaining the status quo in surveillance practices.

As the NDAA moves forward in the legislative process, it is likely to face further scrutiny and debate. The views and opinions expressed by Rep. Weber shed light on the different perspectives surrounding this important legislation.
