President's Statement on Senate Passing Supplemental Budget
I applaud the Senate for its strong
bipartisan support for our troops and our continued effort to win the
war on terror. New democracies are taking root in Iraq and
Afghanistan, and America is proud to stand with them. Both countries
are assuming greater responsibility for their own security, which will
help our troops return home as quickly as possible with the honor they
have earned. I urge the House and Senate to reach a final agreement
that focuses taxpayer dollars on providing the tools our troops and
diplomats need now, so that I can sign a bill into law as soon as
possible.
