I thank Mr. Wamp, and I thank him for sharing that letter from that Navy captain. I think that was very well expressed by that captain in the Navy. Mr. Speaker, there is a lot of rhetoric going on. What we really need is we need, as Mr. Wamp has so very accurately described, we need to meet on the water's edge. We are waiting to hear plans for solutions. Mr. Speaker, if we do not stay the course, as hard as it is, whether it is hard politically, whether it is hard socially, whatever, if we do not stay the course, Mr. Speaker, I honestly think, as Mr. Wamp said, all the investment in freedom that we have made in the past will pale to the surrender that follows. I thank you for your time, Mr. Speaker, and I thank you for allowing us to share this concern and this little bit of history. I yield back. ____________________
