On the recordOctober 9, 2004
Mr. Speaker, I consider it a distinct honor to be here today to present H.R. 4837, the fiscal year 2005 Military Construction appropriations bill. I am grateful to the conferees in both parties in both Houses for acting together in unison to produce an effective piece of legislation that I think we can all be proud of. It is important to understand that this bill is not about lawmakers in Washington. H.R. 4837 is about people, specifically the soldiers, sailors, Marines, airmen and their families who serve this great country. We must never forget their selfless service. I firmly believe this bill reflects our commitment to their continued sacrifice.
