Following the Senate’s approval of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of FY22, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), issued the following statement announcing he was successful in including his U.S.-Greece Defense and Interparliamentary Partnership Act as an amendment to this year’s NDAA, which now heads to President Biden’s desk for his signature into law.

Closely watched legislation foreseeing a significant boost in US support for Greece’s military modernization was passed by Congress on Wednesday, with the draft bill now needing only US President Joe Biden’s signature to become federal law.
