For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
March 16, 2006
Statement by the President
I applaud the House for its quick passage of legislation to provide vital
resources for two of our Nation's top priorities. This bill will give our
troops in Iraq and Afghanistan tools they need to prevail in the war on
terror. The legislation also provides for additional resources for the
people of the Gulf Coast as they continue the work of rebuilding their
lives and communities. I urge the Senate to act promptly to pass
legislation providing for these critical funds.
