I can comment very positively about the motivation behind the amendment, and the good policy of giving equity to people who are called away from jobs and away from family to go to a far-off land to defend America in a war against terrorism and doing it in a way that has never been done for guardsmen and reservists to this extent, I think going back to the Korean war. What we are doing now has not been done for a long period of time. The Senator from Louisiana needs to be complimented on her efforts to recognize that and, particularly, to recognize that through employers who show very patriotic fervor in cooperating in this whole program. I can say that very positively about the amendment of the Senator from Louisiana.
