On the recordNovember 28, 2012
I would add just a couple final remarks. I think we have heard a compelling reason to remove section 313 from the National Defense Authorization Act. National security is energy security and vice versa. Let's stand with our military leadership, let's stand with our NCOs, and let's stand with our enlisted personnel and ensure that the military can continue to invest in this important area of energy security which will save lives, create economic opportunity, and make sure we can project force abroad and protect the values we hold so dear. I urge my colleagues to vote for this amendment at 2:00 p.m. We have a tentative agreement. Mr. President, I yield the floor.
