STATEMENT OF SENATOR DURBIN ON SENATE PASSAGE OF SUPPLEMENTAL SPENDING BILL

U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) issued the following statement today following Senate passage of the Iraq Supplemental Spending Bill:

"Today, we sent the President a bill that gives him a chance to answer the prayers of American warriors, fathers, mothers, wives and husbands by changing the course of this war and bringing our soldiers home in a responsible way."

"I know that the White House has repeatedly threatened to veto this bill. But I hope that before the President puts his pen to paper he takes the time to reflect on what the American people are praying for and honors them and this country by starting to bring this war to an end."
