Congressman Andy Harris Statement Regarding Military Action in Syria

WASHINGTON: Congressman Andy Harris, MD released the following statement detailing his opposition to using military force in Syria:

“After much consideration, including attending a classified intelligence briefing, I do not believe using military force against Syria is in the national security interest of the United States. At this point, I won’t be supporting any authorization to use military force if it is brought to a vote in Congress. The use of chemical weapons is a very serious matter for the international community that should not be tolerated, but this Administration has failed to lay out a coherent strategy for why using American military force in this situation is in the best interest of the country.”
