I simply want to join the chairwoman. She has correctly pointed out that there is a significant increase in the bill, but I do support the amendment, as does the chairwoman. As was pointed out, we do need to act quickly. Most of the 82,000 Americans that remain missing are from World War II, the Korean war, and Vietnam. With the most recent of those wars ending over 40 years ago, fewer and fewer immediate families of those missing are still alive. I do think we should have a sense of urgency. Mr. Chair, I appreciate the gentleman's amendment, and I appreciate him yielding.
