Whereas the readiness of the military is critical to the na-
tional security interest of the United States, its citizens, 
and the integrity of the entire military force; 
Whereas section 8, article 1, of the Constitution empowers 
the Congress ‘‘To raise and support Armies’’ and ‘‘To 
make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the

the Armed Forces of the United States, thus increasing 
risk to the national security of the United States, Con-
gress should immediately act to pass a clean fiscal year
