Robert C. Byrd: “You have said that we are a Nation at war, and another terrorist attack here in America is inevitable.”

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.

Why does the administration believe that the Appropriations Committee, or Congress, should have no say in how this $200 million foreign aid program should be spent?

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

The Department is firmly committed to working closely and openly with Congress in order to protect the health of our servicemembers.
