Stevenson’s army, December 9
Charlie, preoccupied with orals the last few days, sent this “catchup” last night:
I’ve been busy with orals the past 3 days. Here’s what I think is happening.
– The armed services committee leaders agreed on a compromise NDAA without ever giving the Senate a chance to vote on amendments or the bill. The House substittuted the NDAA package on a bill originally intended to approve a memorial for a Florida terrorist attack. The important statement of managers is here. A summary here. BTW, included in the NDAA package is the first State Dept authorization bill in 20 years. Fred Kaplan wonders if members even looked at the bill.
This morning he added:
– US will send small arms and ammo to Ukraine.
– WSJ says US will tighten sanctions on Iran.
– Harvard report says China will soon lead US in tech.
– NYT reports problems boosting US R&D.
– Big national and defense strategy documents coming early next year.
