Colleagues, today we are about to vote on a resolution that will correct a long-held injustice--one that has been on the books for decades; one that has caused significant pain to military spouses who have given so much for our country. It is an elimination of the military widow's tax. It has been voted on in this body for over 18 years and has never gotten across the finish line. Now is the time. This is our time to make sure that we tell our veterans that we are supportive but we show it with our actions, not just with our words. I urge everyone to please vote to instruct the conferees to eliminate the military widow's tax. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Who yields time in opposition? The Senator from Oklahoma.
