WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Rick Scott spoke on the Senate floor about the fiscal year 2021 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which includes his Secure U.S. Bases Act to reform and improve foreign military student training programs following the terrorist attack at Naval Air Station Pensacola on December 6th, 2019. Senator Scott is also working to protect Florida’s Gulf Coast from offshore drilling with his amendments to extend the current moratorium for 10 years and require the Department of Defense to report on the importance of the Gulf Test Range, which is currently used for vital military testing and training and is critical to our national security. Offshore drilling in the area would pose significant risks to the environment and economy.
