How many of those boarding schools, like mine, exist in the country? There are relatively few, aren't there?

I am concerned about the payment delays.

Their role is only going to increase as the nature of our voluntary military is going to need the increased participation of women in our Nation's defense.

I know only too well the consequences of the increasing role that our women play in our Nation's defense.

Well, I thank the gentlelady from New Jersey for yielding to me during this Special Order, and I want to give time for us to get set up with our graphics. Mr. Speaker, our Nation is on the cusp of correcting a longstanding injustice, an…
