McCaul to Introduce Amendment to Stop Obamacare Exemption for Congress

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX) will offer an amendment to the FY2014 Continuing Resolution that would ensure no federally elected officials are exempt from provisions of Obamacare.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) released the following statement regarding the anniversary of the terrorist attacks on 9/11.

Chairman McCaul: For two years, Americans have known that a brutal war is being waged in Syria. The atrocities witnessed almost a month ago shocked the world – and have demanded tough choices from the United States. However, horrific acts should not spur unwise reactions, and we must thoroughly examine the realities of military intervention in this civil war.

Chairman McCaul's Question: "Next week we commemorate the twelfth anniversary of 9/11. It was al Qaeda that hit the World Trade Center. It was al Qaeda that hit the Pentagon down the street from here. Al Qaeda is the enemy, and before 9/11 al Qaeda was the enemy. As Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, I want to make sure that never happens again, and I know you share that as well. I think what gives Congress great pause, and the American people great pause, is there's no good outcome here. They don't see a good side versus a bad side.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee, of which Congressman McCaul is a senior member, will convene a hearing to discuss the Obama Administration’s response to the crisis in Syria, including the President’s request for an Authorization for Use of Military Force.

Congressman McCaul will be questioning Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and Secretary of State John Kerry on the administration's understanding of the situation in Syria.
