Reid: Senate Staying in Session Until We Avoid Defaulting on Our Obligations

Statement

Date: July 19, 2011
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Senior Citizens Entitlements and the Safety Net

"The Senate has no more important task than making sure the United States does not fail to pay our bills for pre-existing obligations like Social Security for the first time in our history. To ensure that we meet this responsibility, the Senate will stay in session every day, including Saturdays and Sundays, from now until Congress passes legislation that prevents the United States from defaulting on our obligations."
