Mr. Chairman, what did he say? Well, it doesn't matter because whatever he said, please know that treaties have to be confirmed or ratified by the Senate with a two-thirds majority. Mr. Chairman, let's ask our military leadership whether the New START military reductions are in our security interests, whether it vindicates supporters of arms control, like myself, or vindicates those who believe we need to build more.

I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield the balance of my time to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Turner).
