That would be the Senator's last question, unfortunately, Senator Byrd.

You're right, some of us up here were part of what they called 'The Greatest Generation.' We now know that we have been replaced.

You remind me of the first time I testified before Congress. I read the third sentence and said, 'period.'

The two of us would like to meet with some of your people soon to see what we might do to help you expand the availability of this care throughout our country.

I think I must take responsibility for the fact that there will be no supplemental this year.

Well, can you answer me this. Is the Iraqi Freedom Fund, which we created for the fiscal year 2003 budget--it was the supplemental really--has that been exhausted?

Well, it is my impression that because of body armor and better helmets, we are having more real serious injury to the limbs of our service men and women.

We have, I understand, a 2004 shortfall on the global war against terrorism of $700 million, is that right?

It is as important today as it ever was, more important probably, to have a military which has the resources it needs.

That is the policy we followed in Kosovo and Bosnia and as a matter of fact in the initiation of the Persian Gulf war.

Well, I think we'd like to visit with you later, in a classified situation, to discuss this.

I would urge you to take a look at that.
