I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Price), who's the ranking member on the Homeland Security Subcommittee.

I thank the gentleman for his hard work on this issue and look forward to working with him.

Would you explain--you say here you have these two brigades, except pursuant to article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty. Could you explain what the impact of this is, the treaty commitments here?

I'm very interested in this, and I want to talk to my good friend about this. I would like to work with you on it.
