PRAYERS FOR THE PRESIDENT AND THE MEN AND WOMEN IN THE ARMED FORCES
Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, first let me join my friend from Utah in sentiments that he expressed at the end of his speech in that we hope and pray for the wisest decision from the President. And we hope and pray for our young men and women who are amassing in the Middle East now.
War, of course, should be the last resort. We still hope that it can be avoided. But if it cannot, we wish them and their families the best and pray for their speedy success.
