Washington, DC – Today, Rep. André Carson (IN-07), Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, released the following statement:
"Like all Americans, I was outraged to learn of the despicable terrorist attacks carried out in Paris yesterday. This horrific violence against innocent people is clearly an attempt to intimidate and instill fear, not only in the people of France, but in everyone who values freedom and equality. As we struggle to come to terms with this tragedy, we know one thing for certain, these terrorists will not prevail.
General Support
Mr. Chairman, I commend you and Ranking Member DeFazio for working together to bring a six-year reauthorization bill before the full committee today. I also want to acknowledge the contributions of Highway Subcommittee Chairman Graves and Ranking Member Norton.

"Today I voted on a short-term continuing resolution to keep our government open. While this avoids the immediate crisis, I am disappointed to see Congress once again kicking the can down the road. Today's continuing resolution is a quick fix that leaves our country in the same uncertain position 10 weeks from now. The American people deserve better from their leaders than what they are getting today in Congress."
