Thank you for that question.
I'll note that I'm a historian and not a legislative expert by any means.
In terms of the reclassification of the Persian Gulf from special duty area to wartime service, I can't speak on that process contemporarily and what has happened. I've studied the designation of Korea in the past and how that had changed. In the past, it was through an order in council.
Relative to this particular change, I would yield to my colleagues in policy and legislation currently, as opposed to looking at it from a historical point of view.
