I thank my colleague. Before I ask my question, I wish to thank the Senator from West Virginia for taking to the floor on such an important and timely issue because we are in a grave new world. No one can doubt the Senator's fidelity as a patriot and somebody who cares about a strong America, an America that defends itself. I followed his career long before I ever came to the Congress in 1980. It was true then and it is every bit as true, even more true today.
