I would only caution my friend, the chairman on the other side, about certain remarks. I would remind him that the Speaker of the House, Mr. Gingrich, did not serve in the military. The majority leader of the House, Mr. Armey, did not serve in the military. The majority whip of the House, Mr. DeLay, did not serve in the military. I know the gentleman served in the military, as did I, but I would urge the gentleman not to make remarks about the Clinton administration and people who did not serve in the military when there are leaders on his side of aisle who also did not serve in the military.
