In closing, I again thank my friend very much. The fact that a general, a very highly placed general, would come out with a number that is not correct, is in itself astounding. It means he certainly is not informed either. Not only are we uninformed, but he is uninformed, and this should give even more pause about this whole situation. I thank my friend for the energy he is putting into this issue. Again, my people in California are very grateful for what the Senator from West Virginia is doing.
