Pulaski County Congressman Hal Rogers is applauding House passage Wednesday of a 512-billion dollar Defense Appropriations bill. The Republican chairs the House Appropriations Committee. He says the measure funds critical national security needs…
"The bill also addresses what has been a black mark on our military…the problem with sexual assault. The legislation fully funds sexual assault prevention and response programs…and adds 25 million dollars in funding for sexual assault victim assistance." - Congressman Hal Rogers
Rogers says no one in the military should have to sacrifice more than they already have to serve their country.
