The United States Senate has come back from its spring recess today. The House will return next week. When it comes to funding our troops, we have no time to waste. It’s time for them to get the job done. So I’m inviting congressional leaders from both parties – both political parties – to meet with me at the White House next week. At this meeting, the leaders in Congress can report on progress on getting an emergency spending bill to my desk. We can discuss the way forward on a bill that is a clean bill: a bill that funds our troops without artificial timetables for withdrawal, and without handcuffing our generals on the ground.
