On the recordJanuary 24, 1996
even though critically important language on the U.N. or foreign command of U.S. troops and the deployment of this critically needed national missile defense system and contingency funding, all those are out, and Mr. Clinton is going to pay a heavy price during the next 286 days for that, I am very proud to stand up here and defend our chairman and this great authorization bill. Among the important personnel provisions included in the bill that I authored or fought for as the chairman of the Subcommittee on military personnel are prohibition against all abortions in overseas or U.S. military hospitals, mandatory discharge of all nondeployable, noncombat trainable AIDS virus carrying drug users, and others, excellent new guidelines for accountability of American POW-MIA's, finally, a 5.2 percent interest pay raise in housing allowances, a cost of living adjustment, COLA, for military retirees, and a pay equity adjustment.
