mr. chairman , if the gentleman will continue to yield , that is the point i am trying to make . 
to say that the code talkers , and i am not saying the gentleman is suggesting this , but to suggest that they did not deserve the ultimate award , even as a group , for what they provided to the service of this country during world war ii is just ridiculous . 
they certainly deserved as a group . 
any one individual , no . 
there were multiple individuals who provided an incredible service to us . 
i would also point out that two is not individual . 
two individuals makes up a group , to my understanding , and that would include nancy and ronald reagan . 
that would include any husband and wife , including dr . 
king and coretta scott king . 
that would preclude them from getting this medal in the future . 
that is my understanding of the legislation before us .
