Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As you know, in our Constitution one of the few things that we're supposed to do here is to provide for the common defense, and I know I'm committed to doing that, and I know you're committed to doing that, and yet we have this continuing resolution, and so that certainly makes me feel more confident that in our efforts that our troops are being watched out for and their families. So I thank you for that commitment, and will you continue to promise to work with me through this coming year to move forward to ensure that our troops and their families are supplied with all that they need?
