Robert C. Byrd: “Well, do we have an exit strategy?”

I cannot see how under the doctrine of preemptive strike that any President can make this decision by himself.

No, we're not talking about a lot of things; we're talking about this particular request for modularity.

I do not believe that we can overstate the importance or the difficulty of the challenge before the Congress.

I cannot support this item unless there are some limitations on it, unless Congress can exercise its power over the purse, as the Constitution provides.
