mr. chairman , i yield myself the balance of my time .  i thank my coauthors , the gentleman from wisconsin ( mr. kind )  and the gentlewoman from north carolina ( mrs. myrick )  .  i want to say it is not an easy task taking on the gentleman from california ( mr. lewis )  .  i too would like to say i am voting for final passage of the supplemental .  it is important that we have adequate resources for all of our troops .  i have been to iraq twice .  i have been to the current embassy in baghdad twice as well .  i have seen the improvements .  we have spent something like $ 100 million already trying to make that facility safe .  it is within the green zone .  this new embassy where they want to build is just down the river .  frankly , i would have preferred to see it go where camp victory is .  i asked that question , in fact , yesterday .  i was not very pleased with the answer that i got , but maybe in a few more months we will get it right and put it someplace that would be truly safe for all of our folks that are there .  at the end of the day , those are the questions that all of us should be asking .  whether it be in an authorization bill that came through this congress the last year or in the omnibus bill or in the president 's budget for fiscal year 2006 , this bill no matter what train track it is on will not get to the president until may .  we ought to take the time to do this right , to ask the right questions and to make sure that all of our people , whether they work for the state department or whether they work for the armed services , have the right resources ; but it ought to go the regular order .  that is the way this house ought to operate .
