“the needless delay is taking time here and being enmeshed in procedural matters that need not be enmeshed. I was asked to listen to a unanimous consent proposal that was advocated and propounded by my friend from Georgia. It is something that we believe is inappropriate. This legislation is going to pass and it is going to pass quickly. I think it will pass with relatively no opposition. The sooner we get to the merits of this legislation, the better off we will be. I think it would not be untoward to allow a Member on that side or this side to offer an amendment. If the amendment is no good, and understanding the underlying importance of this legislation, it will either be defeated or the person will withdraw it. But there may be ways of improving this bill, ways that we can help the fighting men and women of our country in a manner different than is set forth in this legislation.

So I hope we can move just as quickly as possible. This is important legislation for the people that are over in harm's way. We want to assist them in any way that we can.”
