I thank the Chair. I commend the Senator from Florida. He has been a passionate supporter of this cause for so long. He has had some success but not the full success which he deserves and which the widows and orphans in this country deserve and which the survivors and our disabled people in this country deserve, people who have given so much. So I want to add my voice in support. I think a strong vote will make the Senate more able to maintain this position in conference with the House. I congratulate and thank the Senator from Florida, Mr. Nelson, for his tenacity on this issue. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Virginia.
