To the Senator from Hawaii, I would be happy--I would be thrilled--to accept that request, and I will accept it right now. I can't speak for Senator Tuberville, but I can speak for myself. I will absolutely accept that right now. Let's get them all done. Get the Pentagon to lift this policy--to suspend it--until we can get it ironed out in the NDAA. I will agree to that right now. If this is as bad, as dire, as apocalyptic, dogs and cats living together in the streets, Book of Revelation stuff, as you describe it, then we should do that. But lift the policy. You can't legislate from the E-ring of the Pentagon. We will stand up for our rights. And we must. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Hawaii.
