Mr. Chairman, I want to thank the gentlelady from Indiana for her effort on this very important amendment. For 4-plus years, the Obama administration has declined to transfer these terrorists at Guantanamo to Yemen. I would suggest that…

Madam Chairman, I yield myself 1 minute. I'm very pleased to offer this bipartisan amendment along with my colleagues, Mr. Mulvaney, Mr. Moran, and Mr. Woodall. I'm very pleased that it has the support of the ranking member of the Armed…

Madam Chairman, I would just urge all Members to read the amendment itself. There is nothing in here that says we will reduce one penny from the National Guard and Reserve. This is an across-the- board provision and it will be…
