mr. chairman. first and foremost, i want to thank chairman mckeon for his strong buy tart r partisanship committee. i always say this is the most bipartisan committee in congress. that's not a high bar to jump over but we are very bipartisan in our approach and the bill that you have before you reflects the work of the chairman and of every member of this committee and staff. we could not do it if we did not work together in that smirt. if we were looking for partisan advantage at every turn, we could not produce the quality product that we do. i thank the chairman for making sure this committee upholds that tradition, which is the most important thing that we do. i believe this bar sets the right priorities. first and foremost, take care of those troops in harm's way. we still have roughly 80,000 u.s. troops in afghanistan making sure they get the equipment and support that they deserve and their families get the support that they deserve is the most important thing that they do and then more broadly supporting the force. getting another pay raise to the people who serve in the military is incredi
