On behalf of the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) and the thousands of economic development organizations and professionals we serve, I would like to thank the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) Leadership, Chairman Jack Reed (D-RI) and Ranking Member Roger Wicker (R-MS), EPW Chairman Tom Carper (D-DE) and Ranking Member Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for their support of S.Admt. 3103's inclusion in the manager's amendment to the Senate-passed National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25). IEDC commends this bipartisan effort taken to ensure EDA reauthorization remains on the table for consideration in the 118th Congress. Moreover, IEDC welcomes an opportunity to serve as a resource to the NDAA conference and full Senate and House as a final vote on NDAA FY25 commences.
