Congresswoman Barbara Lee Introduces Bill to Audit the Pentagon

CONGRESSWOMAN BARBARA LEE – Congresswoman Barbara Lee has introduced the “Audit the Pentagon Act of 2013” for increased transparency and accountability in the defense budget.

To protect benefits for the nation’s veterans, military personnel accounts and the Defense Health Program would be exempt from cuts.
