Pelosi Statement on Republicans’ So-Called New York Times Resolution
Washington, D.C. – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on the Republicans so-called New York Times resolution. To read the Democratic substitute click here:
"Most of the conclusions in the Republican drafted, so-called New York Times resolution about the financial transaction surveillance program are not the result of Congressional fact-finding or rigorous oversight. That is in the unfortunate tradition of the Republican Congress’ approach to its oversight responsibilities when it comes to intelligence activities and its selective displeasure over possible leaks of classified information.
"Congressman Barney Frank, the senior Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, will offer our substitute to the Republican resolution. The Democratic resolution expresses Congress’ support for appropriate surveillance of terrorist financial transactions and our concern that unauthorized disclosures of classified information may have made it more difficult to locate terrorists and terrorist networks, and disrupt their plans."
“ Democrats are united in presenting a New Direction for America, one that will make our nation as strong as its people, one that brings opportunity, security, and prosperity to all Americans. ”
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
