“I quite understand the gentleman's position, and what I was trying to do in good faith in response was say, I cannot argue the process with you. In fact, I am willing to concede even on process, but it is the substance which is before us right now in the Defense bill that came to our attention in the House, and that is what I think we need and that is what I was trying to respond to was the substance. I will not argue with the gentleman about whether the process is correct or not. Mr. McHUGH. Mr. Speaker, reclaiming my time, my point was not to debate the process, not to disagree with the substance, but rather to talk about the accuracy of the gentleman's words which were inaccurate.”
