“I do not want to get tangled up in the terminology, but the bill, as passed out by the Armed Services Committee that is pending before us, repeals, in the entirety, the law that was passed in 1994.

But insert the Congress at precisely the point the Senator raises there and say: Not one step more until the authorization and appropriation takes place.”
