As an MS activist, Vietnam veteran, 2116 CDMRP/MSRP grant evaluator and person diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, I am writing to express my concern about several provisions included in the Senate-approved National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would severely restrict, and perhaps even prohibit, the Department of Defense from conducting important research on MS and other medical conditions Veterans endure.
Specifically, I respectfully request that the following four provisions (sections 733, 891, 892, and 893) be excluded from the final NDAA conference bill. If these sections are included in the final National Defense Authorization Act it will weaken the Department of Defense’s medical research program, jeopardizing health care for warfighters, veterans, and their families both now and in the future.
