Bipartisan support to keep US Space Command in Colorado Springs continues

According to Lamborn, the amendment prohibits the movement of the United States Space Command to Huntsville, Alabama until after the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GOA) and the Department of Defense (DOD) reviews the decision to relocate.

Great news for Colorado Springs! My #NDAA amendment passed, which prohibits the movement of @US_SpaceCom until after the GAO and DoD IG reviews I requested are complete. We must ensure this decision was free of any political influence.
