Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made the following statement on the floor today.
Mr. President, last Thursday a bipartisan majority of the Senate passed H.R. 1591, the Fiscal Year 2007 Emergency Supplemental Funding conference report.This bill will be sent to the President's desk tomorrow. I strongly encourage him to set aside his veto threats and sign this bill.

George Bush wants to subvert the will of the American people and it cannot stand. The Iraq Accountability Bill will be on his desk tomorrow and if he, as he claims, supports the troops and the citizens of the United States he should sign it.
