McConnell Remarks at SAC-D FY27 Navy Budget Hearing

‘Last year, the ink was barely dry on the one-time reconciliation investment in shipbuilding when this Subcommittee began to hear from uniformed leaders about budget discrepancies, shortfalls, and broken glass in major accounts.

But the way OMB has structured your budget suggests the Administration is willing to run even more significant risks in FY27.’
