“I would like to have as much time as I may consume to again compliment and to commend my good friend, the gentleman from New Jersey, for his insight. And certainly as a senior member of the Armed Services Committee, no one knows better the importance of our strategic and military influence in this important region of the world, and especially with an alliance and a partnership with the great country of Japan, that they have always stood beside us and always been there when we needed assistance. So again, I want to commend my good friend from New Jersey for his comments and sponsorship of this legislation. And I thank my good friend, the gentlelady from Florida, the ranking member, for helping us manage this legislation and get it approved by our colleagues.”
