Press Releases

Congressman Richard E. Neal released the following statement:

“Tonight, President Trump offered the American people no strategy and no justification for his attack on Iran — only the prospect of another war that the American people do not want. That’s why Congress, as the voice of the people, is entrusted with the constitutional authority to decide matters of war.

“I pray for the safety of our troops and the American lives that have been put in harm’s way in the region.

“Congress must return to Washington to assert its authority and prevent any further unchecked escalation. The only path to peace in the region is one where we exhaust every avenue of diplomacy.”
