Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Women Military Personnel Criminal Justice

Senator CHAMBLISS. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

You know, as we heard last week in the testimony before the full committee, the military does not have a more serious problem than this issue. And I commend the Senator from New York for making sure that the issue stayed at the profile that it deserved as we have
been through this process. And, Mr. Chairman, I commend you for standing up and providing the right kind of leadership to address this serious problem.

Now I think it is going to be up to this committee, as we move through the conference to ensure that whatever the end product is--and hopefully this will be it--that the proper oversight is done in this area to make sure that the problem does, in fact, get solved.
So I look forward to supporting this, Mr. Chairman.
