On the recordJuly 22, 2004
I intend to go home and work and communicate to my constituents all of that which we are doing for the men and women who are serving us in this country. It is very, very important that we not suddenly decide this may be an issue whereby I can impact or give the impression that maybe one side is more holy than the other in terms of what we are trying to do for our troops. It is just the reverse. We have done our work well because we do so in an almost nonpartisan manner. I hope that we will have a lot of time in the future to discuss the positive of this kind of discussion. Indeed, today, I am very proud of my colleague, the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Knollenberg), for the work he has done here; and I hope we can move forward from this point and discuss his bill in terms of the real values that have been contributed here.
