mr. speaker , i congratulate the chairman on this bill . 
it is important that we take care of business with our military . 
mr. speaker , having been to iraq this year , i saw our troops , our young men and women from all branches of the service doing the finest job ever representing the concept of freedom and representing the united states ; and they certainly need the supplemental . 
however , i am concerned about some of the baggage that seems to have been added to the supplemental . 
and i think maybe in the future we should be careful about adding things that are not really important emergencies , such as in this supplemental conferring eligibility for rural housing assistance grants in the village of new miami , ohio ; allowing some farm service accounts for the alaska dairy farmers ; increasing the cost of the fort peck fish hatchery project in minnesota ; and adding to the national center for manufacturing services in michigan ; along with $ 500 , 000 for the oral history of negotiated settlement projects at the university of nevada . 
i think these belong in some other bill . 
they may be great projects , but they certainly are not emergency projects . 
but i do urge all members of the house to support this legislation .
