I am encouraged. I know the military was very hopeful, as this administration began, that they would have the opportunity to receive a supplemental appropriation. I commend the Senator from Virginia. As I recall, on February 7 he sent a letter, along with 8 colleagues, to the President, stating that there are bills ``which must be paid now. If money is not provided in these areas there could be a significant negative impact on readiness for this fiscal year and beyond.'' So as Senator Landrieu says, this amendment would take care of the ``beyond.'' I hope you and I and Senator Landrieu and others can stand on this floor in this fiscal year and support a supplemental for the Pentagon.
