The President hasn't requested one dime of his $81.9 billion supplemental for the veterans' healthcare system.

Promoting efficiency and preventing fraud in defense acquisitions will obviously be a high priority.

In closing, may I say that the President's request includes $658 million for construction of the U.S. Embassy in Iraq.
