Reid Committed to Responsible End to War

July 18, 2007 – Today, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada reaffirmed his commitment to changing course in Iraq. After Republicans refused to allow an up-or-down vote on the Levin-Reed amendment to the Defense Authorization bill, which would have reduced U.S. combat forces in Iraq by transitioning the mission away from policing an Iraq civil war to limited counter-terror, training and force protection operations, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada temporarily set the bill aside. Senator Reid asked for consent to move to the Homeland Security Appropriations bill. However, continuing their obstructionist tactics, Republicans again blocked his efforts to begin debate on this bill, that would have made Nevada more secure.

Senator Reid will continue his work to make America safer by bringing a responsible end to the war, standing together with Iraq war veterans, military families, and concerned citizens. He supports the hundreds of Nevadan serving in Iraq and works everyday to bring them home safely
