Washington, D.C. - Congressman Kevin Brady released the following statement today after voting in favor of a resolution opposing deployment of American ground troops in Libya, and requiring President Obama to report to Congress within 14 days on the activities of the U.S. Armed Forces in Libya, including justification for why the President did not seek Congressional authorization for the use of force in Libya, the cost of U.S. involvement in Libya, and how and when U.S. and NATO activities in Libya will end.
 
"The President has failed to explain to Congress and the American people the reason for U.S. involvement in Libya, nor has he provided a clear timetable on how long that involvement will last.  This is unacceptable. It’s high time the President answered the American people.   Over two months have passed since the U.S. joined NATO allies in carrying out air strikes in Libya – and there are more questions than ever.  Ordering military action is Congress' most solemn duty and the American people are asking for answers."
