Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to thank the gentleman from Maryland, too, for his work on this. He shouldn't have to and Warren's family shouldn't have to go through what they go through. Hopefully, this makes it better. I would like to thank the ranking member and Chairman Thornberry for supporting this as well. Lastly, to get something like this done, it takes people within the Department of Defense, within the system, who actually know what needs to get done. Lieutenant Colonel Jason Amerine has worked in my office now for about 2 years on this amendment, and he is someone who really cares. He has been working hostage stuff with about every government agency that there is. I just want to say he played a big role in getting this to where it is at now. I would urge my colleagues to support this amendment. I yield back the balance of my time.
