                             CLARIFICATION

  (Mr. HOYER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, just to clarify the record, I want to make it 
very clear to the chairman of the Committee on Armed Services, as he 
has so often said, I do not deal on this issue with personalities. I do 
not deal with levels of responsibility. This is a broader issue than 
the leadership, or the chairman, or this gentleman.
  Mr. Speaker, I think I almost paraphrased word for word the 
statements that the distinguished gentleman from California, the 
chairman of the committee, so often makes. This is an issue of policy; 
I suggest high policy. I have no difference with the gentleman. He has 
the right under the rule. I believe a correct representation was made 
to him, and I appreciate very much his actions in giving us a few 
minutes to discuss this issue further.
  Mr. Speaker, as the gentleman knows, I am a person who respects his 
integrity and his intellectual honesty, and I know that he respects 
that in others as well.
