The House Armed Services Strategic Forces Subcommittee, chaired by Congressman Mike Rogers (R-AL), will hold a hearing on Wednesday, March 2, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. in 2118 Rayburn House Office Building on the “Fiscal Year 2017 Budget Request for Department of Defense Nuclear Forces.”

Chairman Rogers said: “Seven years ago, the Obama Administration came in with grand and misguided plans to drastically cut U.S. nuclear forces. And just like the Carter Administration before it, those fantasies have been hit hard by the reality of the dangerous world we live in. Having seen the administration change course significantly, today there is strong, bipartisan agreement that our nuclear forces are the nation’s highest priority defense mission and that they must be fully funded. This hearing will give us an opportunity to ensure that they are.”
