Announcement By the Acting Chair

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. HARRIS. Mr. Chair, the gentleman from Arizona has it absolutely right. When I was in the military as a physician, what you wanted when you were injured in battle, Mr. Chair, was the best person taking care of you with the greatest skill. You didn't care what the color of their skin was. You didn't care what their religion was. You didn't care what their background was. You wanted a highly trained individual who was going to keep our fighting force healthy.

Mr. Chair, that is why we need this amendment, to protect our men and women serving this country. This has nothing to do with other amendments. It is about having a fighting force that is the best in the world.
