DEMOCRATS OPPOSE AMNESTY FOR IRAQIS WHO KILL AMERICAN SOLDIERS
Washington, DC – Senate Democrats offered the following amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill to reject the Iraqi government’s attempt to offer amnesty to those Iraqis who have attacked U.S. Armed Forces:
Sense of the Senate:
(1) The Iraqi government should not grant amnesty to persons who have attacked, killed, or wounded members of the U.S. Armed Forces serving heroically in Iraq to provide all Iraqis a better future.
(2) President Bush should immediately notify the government of Iraq that the United States government opposes granting amnesty in the strongest possible terms.

The Senate will convene at 9:45 a.m. and resume debate on the motion to proceed to H.R. 3590, as provided for under the previous order. There will be no roll call votes during Friday's session of the Senate. The next vote will occur at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 21. That vote will be on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to H.R. 3590, the legislative vehicle for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2009.
