Thank you, Mr. President. May I commend my friend and colleague from Nebraska for his usual eloquence. When he reflects on past experiences and provides some insight into some of the actions that this country has taken, and those who wear the uniform of this country have taken, all Americans do well to listen, in my judgment. I have enormous respect for him. He has drawn our attention today to some important developments that have taken place or will take place in the next week. And I continue to commend him for his leadership in those areas. I have enjoyed an association that goes over a long time. We did not know each other in Vietnam, but we served together as Governors, and we came to this institution together. And I am very proud to call him a friend.
