I only wish your conference had made you chairman of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, I really do, because you and I could have done a lot of great things together. In reality, the unwritten history will be the success of the committee occurred not by your current chairman, but because of the work-around solutions that we were able to do, by you and I working together, with Stephanie Herseth and the Sergeant Major and Vic Snyder.
The speaker reflects on the contributions of a colleague and expresses regret over missed opportunities for collaboration.

We are asking that you give it statutory power to actually implement the recommendations.
The establishment of a four-star Joint Readiness Command (JRC) to oversee joint readiness, especially medical readiness, is intended to fill a critical gap, rather than increase bureaucracy.
It should not be lost on the committee that of the five commissioners, all of us have had military service, we are military retirees, we have served this Nation in war and in peace.
