“I stand with him also in congratulating our chairman and ranking member of the Committee on Appropriations. There are no two more faithful Members to this institution than the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Young) and the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Obey). They have worked together, they have overcome disagreements to bring to this floor a piece of legislation that deserves bipartisan support. This bill is about ensuring the support for the troops that we have sent abroad to carry out objectives of the United States of America and, indeed, of a large number of the international community. We will be united in that support of our troops and united in support of the success of that effort. We see countless Iraqis waving and welcoming American troops to their land, and we have seen the fact that there is also distress in that land and we want to assist, assist quickly, the humanitarian relief and assist quickly in the rebuilding.”
