Again, Mr. Chairman, along these lines, I believe the bill takes important steps to protect the Air National Guard from unwarranted cuts in mission realignments. I appreciate that the bill does not increase most TRICARE fees and copays and that it prohibits the department from implementing new fees. I want to thank Chairman Forbes for his strong partnership on the Readiness Subcommittee and also to thank members of the staff. Again, I support the bill, and I urge my colleagues to support the measure as well. Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to my friend and colleague, the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Landry).
