I congratulate Sen. John McCain for his expert leadership in seeing the National Defense Authorization Act through to passage in the U.S. Senate. The bill provides the certainty that Arizona’s defense industry needs in order to continue to thrive here. Sen. McCain’s work to preserve the A-10 aircraft at Davis-Monthan and the continued production of leading-edge defense systems and technology by companies like Boeing and Raytheon is welcome to news to Arizonans who are concerned about our nation’s security and our state’s economy.
