as I said earlier, while I sympathize with the Senator from Illinois, because this is a critical issue, it is simply a matter of not being able to provide the funding for this particular retirement bill. We had this issue up last year, and we did not get the funding for it. My bill takes a more reasonable approach. It rewards those men and women who are serving in Iraq today. I ask that we render a ``no'' vote against this amendment so we can make a strong move to include my amendment in the conference report that will be forthcoming. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the amendment. The yeas and nays have been ordered. The clerk will call the roll. The legislative clerk called the roll.
