Mr. Speaker, once again, the commission of this or the work of this commission, pardon me, has been incredible. We're not asking for 20 years. We're not asking for two years. We're asking for a one year extension so that the Republicans and the Democrats who have dedicated their time to a full and thorough accounting of our nation's longest war can do so on a professional and bipartisan basis. And you've heard from the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee whose leadership helped establish this commission as well. We need to do this right. (05:52–06:08)
