Nita Lowey: “I thank Chairman Skelton for his hard work on this project. We included the SIGIR provision in our appropriations bill…”

On the recordJune 21, 2007
I thank Chairman Skelton for his hard work on this project. We included the SIGIR provision in our appropriations bill to ensure that this subject does not fall out somewhere in the process. You and I agree completely on the importance of the SIGIR office. I look forward to working with you to make sure that the version ultimately included in the National Defense Authorization Act conference report achieves the goals our respective bills laid out. It is my intention to drop section 696 of the State, Foreign Operations appropriations act in conference so that we do not end up with competing versions of the same language.
