His district includes the General Dynamics Land Systems plant in Lima, the only U.S.
Turner chairs the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee and will retain that position in the next Congress. This provision keeps the production lines open in Lima, Ohio, and ensures that our skilled, technical workers are protected." Mike Turner, R-Ohio, said that Congress "recognizes the necessity of the Abrams tank to our national security and authorizes an additional $120 million for Abrams tank upgrades. Last week, Congress won again in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2015. The Army suggested that production lines could be kept open through foreign sales.Įach time, Congress has pushed back. The new defense spending bill includes $120 million for tanks that the Army has repeatedly said it doesn't want.įor three years, the Army in numerous Congressional hearings has pushed a plan that essentially would have suspended tank building and upgrades in the U.S. Why would congress include this in the latest budget when clearly the Army says it doesn't need more stinking tanks!
