“Dear Leaders: The war in Iraq is the most pressing issue of our time. It urgently deserves the attention of the full Senate and a full debate on the Senate floor without delay. We respectfully advise you, our leaders, that we intend to take S. Con. Res. 7 and offer it, where possible, under the Standing Rules of the Senate, to bills coming before the Senate. On January 10, 2007, the President stated, with respect to his Iraq strategy, ``if Members have improvements that can be made, we will make them. If circumstances change, we will adjust.'' In a conscientious, respectful way, we offered our resolution consistent with the President's statement. We strongly believe the Senate should be allowed to work its will on our resolution as well as on the concepts brought forward by other Senators.”
