Third Time's A Charm

Statement

U.S. Congressman Pete Sessions (R-TX), Chairman of the House Committee on Rules, released the following statement applauding the passage of the package to fund our nation's military through September 30, 2018:

"As the father of a first year Navy seaman, I deeply value his service and the service of each and every member of our armed forces. As these brave men and women stand strong in the face of danger and defend our nation both at home and abroad, they expect their elected officials to have their backs. I believe that our greatest duty as Members of Congress is to provide funding for our military and ensure they have the resources they need to fulfill their duties.

"Today marks the third time that the House has sent the Senate a bill to fund our nation's military. Our men and women in uniform make immense sacrifices to protect our great nation. It is completely irresponsible for Senate Democrats to create unnecessary certainty for our military by holding their funding hostage. I sincerely hope that they take this seriously and provide our troops with the funding that they need and deserve. I have proudly voted for this critical funding bill three times, and I will continue to vote for it time and time again until we get it to the President's desk."
