WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) today spoke on the Senate floor about the importance of passing the National Defense Authorization Act in order to authorize funding for critical military priorities, including those at Ellsworth Air Force Base. Thune noted that he is focused on making sure Ellsworth has the resources it needs to address school capacity and housing needs in order to accommodate military families who will move to South Dakota with the arrival of the B-21.  The speech can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjwPhlq49vQ.
