Mr. Speaker, as I have said before, this is a very important item which has a high priority. We will get the right helicopter as soon as possible.
I think the House would agree with me that today is a perfect day to have special praise for our naval forces in the Arabian gulf. As has been pointed out by the media and our American allies, our navy has fought above its weight with about 10% of the ships and half of the boardings and hailings. I would ask the whole House to join me in congratulating our navy.
