“Amendment SA 3274 agreed to in Senate by Voice Vote.”
This amendment prevents the military from cutting the number of B-1 bomber aircraft squadrons for a longer period of time. It ensures these long-range planes remain in active service while the Air Force waits for newer replacement aircraft to be ready.

Air Force personnel assigned to B-1 units and the communities surrounding Air Force bases that host these aircraft, such as those in Texas and South Dakota.
