Robert C. Byrd: “This culture of subsidization to the medical schools simply has to stop.”

It seems to me that we ought to at least bow to the Constitution as we enter into this temple of the destructive doctrine of first strike.

Will these funds be sufficient to address the complaints that we have heard, and that you heard also, Mr. Secretary, when you were visiting there, that our troops are scrounging for armor in trash dumps?

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.

I thank you for holding these hearings on the 9/11 Commission's recommendations for intelligence reform.
