Robert C. Byrd: “The people have the right to know how their monies are spent and to believe that they are being spent prudently.”

the same situation that obtained prior to the entry of the war with Iraq might, in some respects, lend itself to a repeat in the case of Syria and/or Iran.

It seems to me that we ought to at least bow to the Constitution as we enter into this temple of the destructive doctrine of first strike.

I am profoundly worried that the President may have a hidden agenda for dealing with Iran and Syria.

Well, I have to tell you, Mr. Secretary, this seems to me to be an abuse, a serious abuse, of supplemental appropriations requests.
