I wish to observe that what the Senator said about the chairman and ranking member is something most all of us in the Senate believe. They are two extraordinarily able people, and I am proud to serve with both of them. I think they produced a good piece of legislation. I especially wish to say, as coauthor of the concurrent receipt legislation with Senator Reid, I am pleased this will be accepted. My understanding is this will be part of the bill in the Senate. It is the right result for disabled veterans. I am very pleased they are allowing us to make this a part of the bill today. I thank Senator Reid for his leadership.
