“In my district and across the country, businesses and manufacturers provide good-paying jobs, support families, and strengthen our economy,” said Congressman Kelly. “But under this rule, companies will be forced to take on massive new costs—costs that will either be passed on to consumers or result in lost jobs and closed facilities. We cannot afford to let Washington bureaucrats dictate policies that weaken American industries and send our opportunities overseas.”
House Joint Resolution 61 aims to push back against overregulation that disproportionately impacts small businesses and manufacturers, adding layers of red tape without meaningful environmental benefits. Congressman Kelly has long been an advocate for policies that promote economic growth and job creation that prioritizes American industry.

The investment was made possible by a provision in the 2024 National Defense and Authorization Act (NDAA), which Kelly and Courtney championed, allowing the U.S. to accept Australia’s contribution. Under this law, the Secretary of Defense must submit a notification to Congress outlining how the funds will be allocated.
“We look forward to receiving the required notifications detailed in the FY24 NDAA so that funding may be expeditiously made available for obligation to the U.S. submarine industrial base. This funding should not be used to offset any current or future cost growth that may exist elsewhere in U.S. submarine procurement. Instead, we hope that these funds will be used to supplement ongoing efforts to increase submarine production, adhere to the enabling legislation, and reaffirm the United States’ commitment to the Australian government,” the lawmakers wrote to Secretary Hegseth.
Friday’s investment was the first of several under Australia’s $3 billion commitment to strengthen the U.S. submarine industrial base and support efforts to expand submarine construction. The announcement came ahead of Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles’ first meeting with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Both Chairman Kelly and Ranking Member Courtney met with Mr. Marles Friday to discuss Congress’ commitment to the US-Australia alliance and Australia’s landmark investment.
