"the question of whether the law should be repealed is a matter for Congress to decide."

"5 minutes is not sufficient time for anything, frankly, but statements by the members."

"This is obviously a transcendently important issue, and to allow our members 5 minutes with the Secretary of Defense is simply not adequate enough."
