President Obama Delays Trip to Guam to Focus on Health Care Reform Legislation
Congresswoman Madeleine Z. Bordallo today announced that President Barack Obama has delayed his upcoming trip to Asia. President Obama will stay in Washington, D.C. throughout next week to help pass health care reform. Both the House and Senate are set to begin debate on health care reform legislation next week.
“The President decided to delay his departure for the final effort to pass health care reform legislation,” Congresswoman Madeleine Z. Bordallo said today. “The White House has not released any new details of the President’s visit to Asia, but I have been assured by White House staff that the President is still intending to visit Guam. Health care reform is one of President Obama’s top legislative priorities and I know that once this very difficult work is done he will certainly appreciate the warm welcome that he will receive on Guam.”
