I thank Congressman Khanna for his comments. He gets at a really important point, which opponents of term limits will say: Well, we have term limits that occur naturally every 2 years. But as he pointed out, with a 94 percent incumbent reelection rate, and a turnover rate that is less than European monarchy, it isn't working that way, owing to the advantages of incumbency. So we need to take action right now. I thank him for his commitment to this. This really is a bipartisan issue. I am now honored to yield time to my fellow Marine, the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Bergman), a man who also served his country in uniform, and like General Bacon before, could have easily decided to enjoy retirement, but felt the call to step up and serve his country again. He brings a wealth of experience, and it is my honor to serve with General--now Congressman--Jack Bergman. We are neighbors. We have territory that borders each other, and so far, we have avoided any land disputes.
