Oakland, CA – Today, Congresswoman Barbara Lee issued the following statement today in response to the Iraqi Parliament passage on Thursday of a U.S. - Iraq Security Agreement:
“Not only is this agreement fundamentally flawed in its content, but I also believe it is unconstitutional without Congressional review. If the Iraqi Parliament must review it, so should the United States Congress.
“I will continue to push for consideration of my legislation, H.R. 6846, which would prohibit unilateral action by the President and require Congressional review of this agreement, and urge President Bush to reverse course and submit the agreement to Congress for review.”
