On the recordSeptember 26, 1996
Mr. Speaker, I do not think we can emphasize enough the wonderful, courageous, dedicated work of our American teams out there, the personnel that served during the cold war, never knowing when they would have to be called upon to engage in actual hostility. They were not part of any invasion, they were not part of any landing, but they certainly fulfilled their responsibility by being ready, by being disciplined, by being dedicated. I would just like to reemphasize what the gentleman from New York [Mr. Lazio] stated, in saving and freeing 500 million people as a result of our cold war efforts. I do not think we can do enough to express our recognition of these courageous, dedicated American men and women.
