Today , the PPBE Reform Commission dropped their final report . The Commissioners came through with some solid analysis and recommendations on how to effectively manage defense resources . I really appreciate their hard work and dedication to this important issue . Back in August 2023 , I backed all 13 recommendations in the Commission ' s interim report that could be implemented right away . Those recommendations are included in this final report as well . I ' m happy to announce that the Department has come up with a plan to put those recommendations into action . You can check it out at this link: [insert link] . We ' re also looking forward to reviewing the additional recommendations from the PPBE Reform Commission , working closely with Congress , the Office of Management and Budget , and other stakeholders . One recommendation that stands out is their call for on - time defense appropriations . It ' s worth mentioning that we ' re about a week away from releasing our FY 2025 budget request , while we ' re still waiting on the FY 2024 appropriations , which are more than five months overdue . I really hope Congress takes this opportunity to make a significant change and ensure consistent and reliable funding for our national security needs .
