           TODAY IS A DAY WHICH HOUSE WILL PROFOUNDLY REGRET

  (Mr. OBEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, I disagree with virtually every word uttered 
by the previous speaker. The previous vote, in my view, represents an 
appalling lack of judgment, an appalling lack of will, an appalling 
lack of leadership, an appalling lack of vision, an appalling 
abandonment of the national interest, an appalling abandonment of the 
troops in the field, an appalling lack of bipartisanship.
  It is a day which this House will profoundly regret.
