U.S. Representative John Boehner
House Takes
'Important, Initial Step Forward in Taking on ISIL'
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) released the
following statement today after the House passed a Continuing
Resolution (CR) to keep the government running past September 30 (H.J.
Res. 124):
"By authorizing the Department of Defense to help train and equip the
Syrian opposition, this measure represents an important, initial step
forward in taking on the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant
(ISIL). ISIL represents a direct threat to the safety and
security of the United States, and House Republicans are firmly
committed to doing everything we can to help keep America safe.
"This year, the House worked methodically to pass seven annual
appropriations bills. Senate Democrats didn’t even bother – they passed
zero. Unfortunately, that’s the kind of inaction we’ve also seen from
them on more than 40 House-passed jobs bills. This bill preserves
previous spending reductions and keep the government running at current
levels past the end of this month. And importantly, it ensures the ban
on internet access taxes does not expire on November 1. I urge the
Senate to act on it quickly."
