Today, I signed into law H.R. 2764, legislation that will fund the Federal Government within the reasonable and responsible spending levels I proposed.
I look forward to working with the Congress in the coming year to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely.
I am disappointed in the way the Congress compiled this legislation.
This law provides a down payment for the resources our troops need, without arbitrary timelines for withdrawal.
There is still more to be done to rein in Government spending.
The miracle of Christmas reminds us that God's grace is revealed in the humblest places.
We are thankful for their courage and their dedication to duty.
We thank each of them.
We hold them in our hearts.
These families deserve the thanks and the prayers of our whole Nation.
May God bless you, and may God continue to bless America.
