just one word, now that we have adopted the Landrieu amendment. Chairman Warner and I used to have the privilege of having Senator Landrieu on the Armed Services Committee. We saw firsthand what a tigress she is and was relative to military matters. She is no longer on our committee, and we do miss her, indeed. But she brings and displays that fervor here on the floor frequently. We thank her for her tenacity. Talk about tenacity, she has a full supply of it. We commend and congratulate her.
