They wish to speak in just a short time on the nomination of Mr. Brownlee to be Under Secretary of the Army.
I had the pleasure of working with him during the time Senator Warner was chairman and Senator Levin was chairman on the matters of this bill. He has been an integral part of moving these armed services bills.
I, as a Democrat, depended on him, he representing the Republican leader on the Armed Services Committee. I just can't say enough nice things about him. I know Senator Warner and Senator Levin will say more at the appropriate time.
