Boehner Statement on the President's Troop Funding Request

Contact: Michael Steel, Kevin Smith, Steve Forde, 202-225-4000; all with John Boehner's Office

WASHINGTON, April 10 /Standard Newswire/ -- House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement after the Obama Administration submitted a supplemental funding request for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan:

"Our men and women in uniform deserve to have full, complete and unfettered access to the resources they need to achieve success.  Republicans want to work with the President to pass a clean troop funding bill, and it's my hope that both parties can work together to pass a bill without any strings attached that would tie the hands of our commanders on the ground as well as any unnecessary or extraneous spending.  We need to do the right thing, and that is to listen to our commanders on the ground and pass a clean bill that fully funds our troops."
