I rise in support of amendment number 1307. This amendment strikes section 1213 of the bill, which would delay the deadline for the Afghanistan War Commission's final report. Instead, It maintains the reporting deadline already established in current law. The American people, our veterans, Gold Star families and all who served in Afghanistan deserve timely answers. Congress created this commission to examine two decades of war, learn from our successes and failures and ensure those lessons are not forgotten. (00:31–00:35)
