Madam President, first let me commend the Senator from Missouri for this amendment. It does make a great deal of sense to have the hardship exemption and to give more time for individuals who are injured in war zones and longer deadlines for the paperwork for those individuals who might have trouble submitting the paperwork from a war zone. We are talking about civilian employees who are deployed there. This amendment makes a great deal of sense, and I urge that it be accepted by a voice vote. The PRESIDING OFFICER. All time has expired. The question is on agreeing to the amendment. The amendment (No. 2039) was agreed to.
