On the recordMay 22, 2007
I thank Congressman Murphy from Pennsylvania for his insight and life experiences as a veteran of the Iraq War, and for sharing his thoughts with us this evening as we demand accountability and common sense on how your tax money, some $12 million an hour of your tax money, is being spent in Iraq. It is important, we believe, that we make sure that it is being spent on our troops, to protect and support them, and that it be accounted for. That's what H. Res. 97 is all about, and we're very pleased, and we want to thank the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, Mr. Skelton, for including key provisions of our legislation, written in part by Mr. Murphy, in the Defense authorization bill this year.
