Hultgren Reacts to President Obama's Syria Speech
"I welcome constructive diplomatic efforts and will look seriously at any proposal that takes chemical weapons out of the hands of Assad—or rebel factions—and places them under secure international monitoring and control."
U.S. Representative Randy Hultgren (IL-14) released a statement following the speech by President Obama on Syrian intervention.
“It was clear to me in the last 24 hours that we are dealing with a rapidly evolving situation that requires a strong collective response by the international community. I do not believe the president and his administration have made a convincing case to the American people that striking Syria with military force is in the best interest of our nation.
