Washington D.C. ISIL clearly poses a new type of threat to the United States as it is well organized well-funded and extremely brutal. I voted today in favor of a plan that authorizes the president to
train and equip the moderate Syrian opposition groups so that they can
combat the terrorist group ISIL said Cong. Henry Cuellar (D-TX28) following his vote Thursday in favor of a plan to combat ISIL. The United States should have all tools at its disposal to confront
the threat posed by this terrorist group.
We need to work closely with our allies and regional partners to look at all options to combat ISIL and ensure our citizens are protected."
Congressman Henry Cuellar is a member of the U.S. House Appropriations Committee Vice Chairman of the House Steering and Policy Committee Senior Whip and member of the Blue Dog Coalition. Previously he served as a Texas State Representative and Texas Secretary of State.
