It is very important the membership understand, but especially the membership of the Committee on Armed Services and the appropriate Appropriations subcommittees, there is little doubt that there is serious potential impact to our ability to prepare for the national defense in this bill. It is my view this bill should have been designed in a fashion to deal with those questions straightforward, that is, in the bill, so it would have gone to the Committee on Armed Services. There is no question it was designed to bypass that committee in terms of this debate. It is very important that the membership know that we need to look at this very carefully.
