President Commends Senate for Passing Defense Bill
Statement by the President
I applaud the Senate for answering my call to quickly pass the
Defense Appropriations bill. With our nation at war, it is imperative
that we address the important priority of ensuring that our troops have
the resources they need. I urge the House and Senate to resolve their
differences promptly and send a bill to my desk in early September.
