The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Democratic leader is recognized.

Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I welcome back the distinguished assistant Republican leader and the Presiding Officer.

I come to the floor today to say a few words about what I believe is one of the most difficult issues to talk about in the ongoing conflict in Iraq. My remarks will not address whether I support our troops in Iraq, because I do. All Americans, I believe, are awed by the courage and sacrifice of our troops in Iraq. My remarks will not address whether I am concerned about the administration's failure to honor its commitment to our troops that they would be required to serve no more than 365 days ``boots on the ground,'' because I am. My remarks will not address whether I believe it is essential that we win the fight to bring democracy, stay the course in Iraq until we see Iraq on the road to democracy, because I do. Instead, I rise for the sole purpose of acknowledging the terrible, growing toll this war is taking on some of

America's finest citizens and their families.
More than 700 American troops have died in the war, and this month, as we all know, has been the deadliest month for U.S. soldiers in Iraq. More than 100 Americans soldiers have been killed in Iraq since April 1. Twelve more brave soldiers lost their lives in Iraq this past weekend.................
