On the recordMay 18, 2000
Mr. Chairman, keeping our word to our Nation's military retirees is not an option. Ten Members of Congress have cosponsored this amendment. They are the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Pickering), the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Bartlett), the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Scarborough), the gentlemen from North Carolina, Mr. Jones and Mr. Hefley, on the Republican side; the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Sanchez), the gentleman from Hawaii (Mr. Abercrombie), the gentleman from California (Mr. Farr), and the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Tanner) on the Democratic side. We believe, Democrats and Republicans, that it is time we keep our word.
