Let me first of all say that my colleague, ranking member of the Armed Services Committee, Senator Reed, is absolutely right. I think about the people that he was praising, the staff people. You don't very often hear people back in the real world really appreciating the time and effort that comes from the staff. In this case, the two individuals that Senator Reed talked about, John Bonsell, Liz King--I don't remember one weekend that they have had off during this whole thing. They are just workaholics. They know how significant this is. They know we had a defense authorization bill for the last 60 years, and the worst thing we could do to our kids in the field who are risking their lives is not send them the resources necessary that are in this bill to defend America ____________________
