mr. rogers: i appreciate my friend's remarks. i agree. i like mr. moniz. i think the secretary is a fine man. trying to do the right thing. and i've had a conversation with the ranking member earlier today and hadn't had a chance to follow up with him, i've been toe floor doing a lot of stuff. the only problem i've got with withdrawing the amendment is we need this report between now and the time we go to conference. to take what we -- is yielded from it and visit with the appropriators. just me reading the report with you in congress wouldn't give me the documentation to take what it says, which i believe it says, and produce deuce some policy that will deal with what the report says is a threat to our country system of for that reason, i would like to urge my colleagues to vote for the amendment and reassure my friend and the secretary that if in fact the report is forthcoming and we're going to have two months between now and the time we go to conference, i will be happy in conference to ask that this provision be withdrawn. with that, i reserve. the ch

mr. rogers: threat is growing. we owe it to our men and women in uniform to give them the tools they need to defend themselves when we send them into harm's way. now, i know that on the other side of the aisle they look at every dollar that goes to defense nuclear nonproliferation budget as sacrosanct, but i note that the house energy and water appropriations mark also has skepticism about whether this technology is ready for primetime. as chairman of the strategic forces subcommittee, i urge the support of this amendment offered by the gentleman from arkansas. with that i yield back. the chair: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. veasey: mr. chairman, i yield two minutes to the gentleman from nebraska, mr. fortenberry. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. fortenberry: i thank the gentleman for yielding, the gentleman from texas, thank you so much. senator mark kirk who used to be a member of this body, he told me a story a while back. he was a bomber pilot during the bosnian

mr. rogers, a good presbyterian preacher, loves you just the way you.jefferson doesn't, and it's not that he doesn't love his daughters but he wants them, as the marines want you to be, all you can be. but the point is serious, and what do you think about this? show me, and with female education, with his granddaughters and their ability to learn the classics. >> i'm going to push back a bit. >> come on. >> no, i want to push back a bit. the letter he writes to palletsy -- patsy when she is 12, he is a middle aged guy who lost his wife. he has two daughters. he has no idea what to say to them. he is not -- he has lost the separate spheres of male and female. he is at a loss what to do. by the time he gets granddaughters he knows what to say and how to talk to young women. i'm not saying you're attacking him. i'm saying qualifying -- i'm qualifying this notion about what he -- he thinks he is being the dutiful father in all of that. you're right. he is somewhat didactic but comes from a place of panic. >> i would never argue -- >> panic, how am i going t
