TWO SURPRISES IN DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION

One Good--John Lewis stuck an amendment in that requires the US government to post how much wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria have cost.

One very Bad--the broadcasting boards for USIA and Radio Liberty have been eliminated. These were bipartisan boards to oversee the content of the broadcasts so they also include dissenting voices in the United States. 

Now the President appoints the head of each broadcasting project and that person reports to the President. Global Trump Network.
