Congressman George Holding (NC-13), Co-chair of the House Caucus on India and Indian-Americans, released the following statement regarding the pending sale of 8 F-16 aircraft to the Government of Pakistan:

“The pending sale of 8 F-16 aircraft to the Government of Pakistan is deeply troubling. Pakistan has continually proven to be an unreliable and unwilling partner for the United States on numerous fronts – chief among them our effort to combat the growing threat of terrorism. It is difficult to see how this sale strengthens our national security and more importantly, how this sale would improve stability in the region. I believe this sale requires further assessment by Congress and urge the Administration to suspend any further action on this sale.”
