I can tell the Members of this body that I have been to Iraq and Afghanistan 37 timesprobably 20 times in Afghanistan. I spent close to 100 days on the ground in Afghanistan. I have seen in person what they do. They get outside the wire. make the mission possible. risk their lives. and Senator SHAHEEN has been able to navigate a very thorny issue and get a solution that is not 100 percent of what she wanted. She had to give up thousands of visas just to find a way to move forward. All I can say is that this really is a big deal. Peoples lives are at stake.
