This legislation will make America safer and save lives,” Austin said.

“We have seen once again that the challenges of our time will only deepen without strong, sustained U.S. leadership in advancing our core security interests. The world is still watching. Lives are still at stake. America's Long-Term Security still under threat. We must never give our friends, our rivals, or our enemies any reason to doubt America's resolve,” Austin said.
