The NDAA also authorizes $16.4 million for two new military construction projects at Creech Air Force Base that Senator Rosen included as one of her Congressionally Directed Spending requests during the appropriations process. It also authorizes $135 million for a major ongoing construction project at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) to safely verify the reliability of our nation\u2019s nuclear stockpile.

As it currently stands, servicemembers \u2013 like the Airmen stationed at Nellis and Creech Air Force Bases \u2013 receive BAH for the cost of living of those areas, rather than where they actually live. Most Creech Airmen, for instance, live in Las Vegas, which has a higher cost of living than the Indian Springs BAH they receive. The Senate Armed Services Committee-passed NDAA includes a requirement for the DoD to brief Congress on how they determine BAH formulas and how to better address these discrepancies.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\" style=\"list-style-type:disc\"><span style=\"font-size:13.999999999999998pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman'\"><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none\">No funding for Yucca Mountain.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:13.999999999999998pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman'\"><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none\"> Thanks to Senator Rosen\u2019s efforts, this year\u2019s NDAA once again does not include any funding authorization for defense nuclear waste storage at Yucca Mountain.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"line-height:1.2\"><span style=\"font-size:13.999999999999998pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman'\"><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\"><span style=\"-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none\"><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none\">Senator Rosen\u2019s bipartisan bills included in the FY22 NDAA:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\" style=\"list-style-type:disc\"><span style=\"font-size:13.999999999999998pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman'\"><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none\">Section 1551: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:13.999999999999998pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman'\"><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none\">los <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/senators-rosen-collins-whitehouse-and-young-reps-langevin-and-garbarino-introduce-bipartisan\/\" style=\"text-decoration:none\"><span style=\"font-size:13.999999999999998pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman'\"><span style=\"color:#1155cc\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\"><span style=\"font-style:italic\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\"><span style=\"-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none\"><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none\">United States-Israel Cybersecurity Cooperation Enhancement Act of 2021<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size:13.999999999999998pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman'\"><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none\">,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:13.999999999999998pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman'\"><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none\"> bipartisan legislation Senator Rosen introduced with Senators Susan Collins (R-ME), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), and Todd Young (R-IN) establishing a new grant program at the Department of Homeland Security to enhance cooperative research and development between the U.S. and Israel on cybersecurity.
