Congress created this commission to examine two decades of war, learn from our successes and failures and ensure those lessons are not forgotten. Delaying that work only postpones the accountability and transparency that the Commission will was created to provide. This amendment does not change the Commission's mission. It does not alter its responsibilities. It simply ensures that the work Congress has already directed is completed on the timeline we originally required. We owe it to those who served, those who sacrificed, and the American people to keep this important effort on track. (00:58–01:04)
