Washington, D.C. - Congressman Dave Loebsack announced today that he has again been named to serve on the conference committee that will negotiate the final details of the FY2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).  The committee will assemble the final legislation from the bills that were previously passed by the House and Senate.  The final product will then be voted on by Congress, before going to the President.

"I am pleased to once again be named to the conference committee.  I look forward to producing a bill that will provide the support necessary for our National Guard troops, military families, and the Rock Island Arsenal," said Loebsack.  "I will continue to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to produce a strong bill that will ensure our nation is secure and our troops have the resources and support they need and deserve."
