It is not what the--reclaiming my time, that is not what the legislation says. What the legislation says is that almost every stage, from the top of the military operation to the bottom there, has to be American commanders. That is not…

I would be happy to debate you on both substance and process. The gentleman was a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee for the previous 2 years. Can the gentleman cite an instance where during the debate on a major issue there was a…

Mr. Speaker, again this legislation is bad in substance and in process. In committee, oftentimes with barely a few minutes of debate on an issue, motions were made to cut off debate and vote the issue, and virtually always on a party line…

I watched this institution debate a number of issues in the years that I have been here, but never before have I seen such an incredible amount of money coming from special interest groups trying to defeat a piece of legislation. And in…
