                      DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS BILL

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of this 
year's fiscal 2016 Defense Appropriations bill.
  As we rapidly approach the final vote on this year's bill, I want to 
recognize the outstanding work that the Appropriations Committee has 
done in crafting this year's bill.
  I am proud to represent the First Congressional District of Georgia, 
which is the proud home of Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base, Hunter Army 
Airfield, Moody Air Force Base, and Fort Stewart. These installations 
are the foundation of many critical missions that continue to support 
our troops abroad and our American citizens at home.
  I am pleased and grateful that this year's appropriations bill 
supports the First District's important missions, and I commend the 
committee for its accomplishments, all while operating under budget.
  Through this bill, the Georgia First's military installations and 
their personnel will continue receiving funding for critical missions 
that will ensure future success for our servicemen and -women. I urge 
all of my colleagues to support this bill.
