Let me just finish by saying the precedence is here. Legal permanent residents are already serving in our military from American Samoa, from Micronesia, from Palau. We have a long history of over 660,000 immigrants serving in our military from other countries. This seems like something that should be a bipartisan, commonsense way to address this problem, allowing people to not only be able to serve in the military, that great opportunity that they have, but, ultimately, the ultimate sacrifice, giving your life for a great country like this. With that, Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to withdraw my amendment. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the amendment is withdrawn. There was no objection. Amendment No. 21 Offered by Mr. Turner The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 21 printed in part B of House Report 113-108.
