We just feel that these men and women need to be placed ahead of the line.

It is a no-brainer, as far as I am concerned, but sometimes no-brainers don't get passed up here.

I have been a strong supporter, a longtime supporter of that legislation. Bipartisan bill.

I thank the gentleman from Rhode Island for those remarks. He is a great advocate for Cyprus. Cyprus is a great partner, a great strategic ally, and will continue to be. We wanted to highlight that this evening, and I think we have. Mr…

Congratulations on your chairmanship. I know you will do an outstanding job.

I don't want to see what happened with our Vietnam vets and the Agent Orange. This is really tragic.

I would love to hear from you as well, so please don't hesitate.
