Madam President. I join Chairman MCCAIN and Ranking Member REED in the very eloquent remarks they have provided in support of the Special Immigrant Visa Program for Afghans who have assisted our men and women on the ground serving in Afghanistan. Chairman MCCAIN mentioned the letter from GEN Stanley McChrystal. I would like to read a few sentences from this letter that was sent to all the Members of Congress. General McChrystal says: The U.S. military presence in Afghanistan relies on allies who serve as translators. security personnel. and in a multitude of other functions. All of these actors are vital to the U.S. mission. whether [they] work directly or indirectly with U.S. forces.
