WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. House of Representatives passed four of Representative Zach Nunn’s (IA-03) bipartisan policies to support servicemembers when they return from their tour of duty and protect national security. The proposals passed as part of the FY25 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
“America is the land of the free and home of the brave because of the brave men and women who serve in uniform,” said Rep. Nunn. “As a twenty-year combat veteran and current Reservist, I’m committed to protecting our national security. That means securing our Southern Border, stopping China in its tracks, bolstering our allies, and supporting servicemembers throughout their career. Each of my amendments that just passed are a strong step toward each of those goals.”
Rep. Nunn led four amendments to the NDAA that unanimously passed the House of Representatives:
- Rep. Nunn introduced the bipartisan Daniel J. Harvey and Adam Lambert Improving Servicemember Transition to Reduce Suicide Act on May 30, 2023. The bill aims to reduce veteran suicide by equipping veterans with resources to support their mental health. He offered
- Rep. Nunn offered amendment based on his bipartisan CLARITY Act. The amendment prohibits the U.S. Department of Defense from using blockchain technology developed by China and other foreign adversaries to protect national security intelligence and Americans’ private information.
- After nearly a year of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran terrorizing Israel, Rep. Nunn introduced an amendment to create a strategic partnership between the Defense Innovation Unit and the Israeli Ministry of Defense to streamline access to emerging defense technologies for the U.S. and our allies.
- To further prevent China’s advances, Rep. Nunn also offered an amendment to create a strategic partnership between the Defense Innovation Unit and Taiwan Ministry of National Defense to streamline access to emerging defense technologies for the U.S. and our allies.
The bill now awaits consideration in the Senate.
