Robert C. Byrd: “How much money has been seized or discovered to date?”

In closing, may I say that the President's request includes $658 million for construction of the U.S. Embassy in Iraq.

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

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.

I cannot see how under the doctrine of preemptive strike that any President can make this decision by himself.
