I question no one's motive. I said this wasn't a vote to test anyone's patriotism or their
commitment to prisoners of war, but I did feel that an affirmative vote on the amendment would
have given great hope to the wives and mothers and children of some of the American missing
in action or American prisoners of war. But I'm certain that many of those who voted against my
amendment sincerely feel this is not the best approach, but they care as much about prisoners
of war and American missing in action as I do.
