Statement
Issues: Taxes Foreign Affairs
Today, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) issued the following statement in response to President Obama speech outline his administration's plans for the conflict in Afghanistan.
While I appreciate the President's remarks, my overriding concern remains the stability of the region and that of Afghanistan's nuclear armed neighbor Pakistan. I'm awaiting more in-depth briefings by senior administration officials, which will hopefully address the questions I have concerning the stability of the region. Despite tremendous sacrifice by our troops in the field and American taxpayers at home, Pakistan's stability and the spread of chaos through the region remains of paramount concern.
