WASHINGTON, D.C.- U.S. Representative Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL), Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs joined U.S. Reps Tom Cole (R-OK), Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, Ken Calvert (R-CA), Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, Mike Rogers (R-AL), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, Michael McCaul (R-TX), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Mike Turner (R-OH), Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, in a joint statement demanding the Biden-Harris Administration release an unclassified version of the Ukraine strategy as required by law.
"The Biden-Harris Administration must immediately release an unclassified version of its strategy for how U.S. and allied assistance will hasten a Ukrainian victory in Russia's war of aggression. After submitting the strategy months after the congressionally-mandated deadline, the decision to fully classify it is unacceptable and defies critical provisions that House Republicans fought to enact as part of the National Security Supplemental and the FY24 spending bills. Given the vital U.S. interests at stake in Ukraine defeating Putin's invading forces, all of Congress and the American people deserve to understand how their hard-earned tax dollars are being spent."
