ike had with others. some of eisenhower's biggest problems were not with montgomery, they were with bradley. so he had his hands full. these were all generals with ideas of their own about how the war should be one. so one of his challenges as the supreme commander was to try to juggle those things and still follow what he believed was the strategy that he felt had to be legal to do this. and he made a lot of guts decisions. i talked about one of them very briefly. another gutsy decision that i made was in december of 1944 when he realized how desperate the situation in the battle of the bulge was and he decided to split the front and give the northern half to montgomery and there was howling. my god, you can't do that, you can't give that to them, so on. edison, they're has been a lot of written about it. but if you go -- if you go to the generals that fought the battle in the northern half goebel -- of the bulge they will tell you it was the right decision and having montgomery there probably saved thei

and let me say in response to the gentleman from new jersey that it was a good step we took with the ike skelton bill today. it solved half the problem. we still have a remaining problem, and that is that it's not clear like it should be who has jurisdiction over defining beyond whether it's a minimum standard that tricare will satisfy, whether there will be additional imp significances and regulations put on -- impositions and regulations put on the health czar. think they should have no say whatsoever on tricare. mr. andrews: will the gentleman yield? mr. lamborn: in just a mohammed? we only went halfway. so it's still undefined who has final control over imposing all the regulations. and i have veterans in my district, 100,000 of them, who feel that they have earned a right to have health care. and they don't have to be told they need a second policy, that somehow that's not good enough. and that's what the danger is mr. andrews: will the gentleman yield? mr. lamborn: because it hasn't been defined like it should be. mr. lamborn: madam speaker, you'll have a chance, i'm sure. i like t
