Clinton’s Week on Capitol Hill
Secretary Clinton wrapped up her week on the Hill with testimony yesterday before the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House Appropriations Subcommittee on State-Foreign Operations. Before both committees, she said, “At a time of change and challenge at home and abroad, we believe these investments will enhance the security of Americans, assure the future of American leadership, and help build the foundations of peace, stability, and prosperity for the years ahead.” Most of the hearings focused on country-specific issues – particularly Iran – but the Secretary received bipartisan support from Senators and Representatives for her efforts to enhance U.S. global engagement.
