salem was the site where the countries' first military regiment mustered in 1637. the militia was the foundation of what was to become the national guard. it's in commemoration and celebration of the men and women who serve our country and those salem residents who came together almost 375 years ago to protect our nation. i urge my colleagues to support this amendment. next year will be the 375th anniversary of the first muster. so it's particularly pleasing to see this matter passed in time to celebrate that. in my limited time i also want to touch on the other three amendments that are included in the en bloc. those are good government amendments which are the result of oversight work done by the subcommittee on national security which i chaired in the last two congresses but which reflect a good bipartisan oversight effort. these amendments will be seeking to strengthen our manufacturing and defense industrial base. will increasing foreign police training programs which currently involve efforts by no less than seven different united states governmental departme
