Recorded summary

The record is internally inconsistent. The title concerns requiring the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to disinter the remains of Fernando V. Cota from Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, Texas, but the summary describes the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026. The summary covers DOD programs, military construction, DOE national security programs, State Department organization, Coast Guard policy, Intelligence Community authorities, procurement of aircraft, ships, and missiles, military personnel strength and compensation, military health care, acquisition and domestic sourcing, foreign-military matters (including Israel, Ukraine, and the Indo-Pacific), cyber and AI policy, and merchant mariner and oil-pollution provisions.

Theological note: Issue relevance: the civil sword and the just ordering of public force bear on this measure, since defense authorization funds armed forces and some foreign military aid. Care for those who served and reverence for the honored dead are also relevant to the cemetery-disinterment title. Whether any particular war or aid program is just cannot be settled from this metadata alone and would require review of the operative text.
