In conclusion, I would just urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this important amendment to prevent the premature transfer of Apaches out of the National Guard until the Commission has had the opportunity to do its work. This Congress created the National Commission for the very purpose of studying the impact of transfers such as Apaches out of the Guard after spending billions of dollars, as my colleague from Pennsylvania has said. This was an investment on the part of the taxpayers to build an operational reserve. We should not take this step until the Commission has completed its work. I yield back the balance of my time.
