mr. speaker , i appreciate my friend 's comments , but just to correct the historical record , you may recall in the 1960s , president johnson did decide to pay for the war .  there were some tax increases in order to support the ongoing military operation .  it can be done .  it should be done in this instance as well .  we have been there for a couple years now .  we are going to be there in future years .  we need to start paying for this .
