U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri has expressed satisfaction with the provisions in the recently enacted legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill. The bill, signed into law on July 4, 2025, aims to enhance military readiness and strengthen Missouri's defense industrial base.

Senator Schmitt, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, emphasized the significance of Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri.
