President Commends Congress for Acting on War Supplemental
Statement by the President
I commend the Congress for responding with bipartisan cooperation and
speed to my request for supplemental war funding. The House and Senate
took strong and decisive action to provide our troops with the
resources necessary to fight and win the war in Iraq, to respond to
increased homeland security needs, and to strengthen the capabilities
of our allies. As the bills go to conference, we will seek to combine
the best elements of the House and Senate bills to help ensure that the
final legislation includes both the funding and flexibility necessary
to respond quickly and effectively to any changing needs at home and
abroad.
