                          MILITARY PROMOTIONS

  Mr. SCHUMER. First, Madam President, I want to reiterate a point I 
made yesterday about Senator Tuberville's military holds. The bottom 
line is very, very simple: Republican leaders and many of Senator 
Tuberville's Republican colleagues oppose what Senator Tuberville is 
doing because it puts at serious risk our military preparedness, our 
military security, our national security.
  Very simply, the onus is on Republican Senators to prevail on Senator 
Tuberville and get him to back off his reckless pursuit. That is the 
crux of the matter. It is on the backs of his Republican colleagues to 
get Senator Tuberville to back off. It is hurting our military 
security. It is dangerous, unprecedented, and they have the power and 
the ability to stop him from doing it.
