tillis: thank you, madam president. madam president, i'm here today to talk about a very important event in american history. 72 years ago today six american and four british and canadian divisions began the assault on adolf hitler's fortress europe on what german filled marshal ramal referred to as the longest day. as the paratroopers moved to their planes and infantry men embarked on their ships dwight eisenhower said you're about to embark on the great crusade toward which we have striven these many months. the eyes of the world are upon you. the hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. in company with our brave allies and brothers in arms on other fronts you will bring about the destruction of the german war machine, the elimination of nazi tyranny over the oppressed people's of europe and security for ourselves and a free world. north carolina was in normandy on that day. at 1:51 a.m., fort bragg's 82 airborne division -p under the command of general ridgeway and brigadier general gavin

last year i introduced the fairness for veterans act and the peters-daines-tillis-gillibrand amendment that was unanimously accepted by this body is a modified version of that bill. the peters amendment would ensure liberal consideration will be given to petitions for changes in characterizations of service related to ptsd or t.b.i. before discharge review boards. peters amendment also clarifies that ptsd and t.b.i. claims that are related to military sexual trauma should also receive liberal consideration rmt. i think i would like to thank the mammogram veteran service organizations who coact f advocated tirelessly on this behalf of this amendment and legislation. like to recognize the iraq and afghan veterans of america, disabled veterans of america, military officers association of america, the american lee john, paralyzed veterans of america, vietnam veterans of america, veterans of foreign wars, united soldiers and sailors of america, and swords to plowshares. in addition to seeing strong support from these veteran service organizations, this has also been a bicameral effort. and

i want to begin where senator tillis ended, with the apparent lack of enforcement. the problems in this program have been persistent and prevalent. the abuses seem to be rife. the evidence is overwhelming. i want to ask to be inserted in the record a couple of documents. one from the international labor recruiting -- recruitment working group, a coalition of anti-trafficking, labor and civil rights groups. which have it? ed submitter a letter and the afl-cio ask that these letters be included into the record if there's no objection. >> they'll be made part of the record. >> thank you. the evidence shows that some employers swear falsely that they've attempted to recruit american workers for these positions. others actively avoid hiring americans at no cost. still others commit wage and hour violations and subject foreign workers to inhumane conditions. all of these abuses fly in the face of what the h-2-b program was intended to do which is to bring workers into the country which will help american businesses grow and thrive when there's no american to do the job. i
