‘This is the legislation that authorizes the resources, the capabilities, and the pay and benefits that our men and women in uniform need to perform their missions. This bill is always important, but it’s especially important in light of the many security threats we face around our globe.’

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement today regarding President Donald Trump’s intent to nominate General Norman Arflack to serve as U.S. Marshal for the Eastern District of Kentucky:

“I commend President Trump on his intent to nominate retired Brigadier General Norman Arflack of Frankfort to serve as the U.S. Marshal for the Eastern District of Kentucky. General Arflack’s distinguished career of service in the Kentucky National Guard and the Kentucky State Police has equipped him with the necessary experience for this new position. I am grateful that he has chosen to continue serving his community, and I look forward to the Senate confirming his nomination.”

The Green River CREP is the most successful conservation program in Kentucky, and I collaborated directly with local, state, and federal parties to see it established. I am very proud of its environmental benefits, and I am pleased the USDA agreed to extend it for an additional year while long-term options are evaluated.
