Dear John,

As Chairman of the Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness, I take my role seriously.  Once again, the Trump Administration plans to raid $3.8 billion of funding for critical ships, vehicles, aircraft  and other equipment necessary for our national defense to pay for the President's border wall.

This is $3.8 billion more than the $6 billion he has already taken from the budget for this ineffective wall.

Tune in tonight as I go on Anderson Cooper 360° at 8:40pm ET/ 5:40pm PT to further discuss how this affects our national security.

Sincerely,

John Garamendi
