                    (B) led efforts to improve the quality of military 
                life, including passage of the largest military pay 
                raise since 1982;
                    (C) supported military retirees, including efforts 
                to reverse concurrent receipt law and to save the Armed 
                Forces Retirement Homes;
                    (D) championed military readiness by defending 
                military access to critical training facilities such 
                Vieques, Puerto Rico, expanding the National Training

                balance between environmental concerns and military 
                readiness requirements;
                    (E) reinvigorated efforts to defend America against 
                ballistic missiles by supporting an increase in fiscal 
                year 2002 of nearly 50 percent above the fiscal year 
                2001 level for missile defense programs; and
                    (F) honored America's war heroes by expanding 
                Arlington National Cemetery, establishing a site for the

        enhancing the national security of the United States and his 
        legislative victories on behalf of active duty service members,
