On the recordAugust 1, 2014
Reclaiming my time, Mr. Speaker, I would like to let the Record note that there is no specification for these men and women of the National Guard to be combat ready. In fact, I do not believe that that would be a true statement. That is not a part of what we have specified in this plan, nor do I believe that it would be a requirement. So I have asked the gentleman, and he chose to answer the way he did, but I would like to state on the Record that there are no requirements, there is no precondition for that. In fact, I do not believe that that is a correct statement. Mr. Speaker, at this time, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Jolly), one of our newest Members.
