60 Members of Congress Call for Delay of Saudi Arms Sale
http://www.theamericanconservative.com/larison/60-members-of-congress-call-for-delay-of-saudi-arms-sale/
In a sign that frustration is growing in Congress over Saudi Arabia, a bipartisan group of 60 lawmakers have signed a letter seeking to delay the Obama administration’s planned sale of $1.15 billion in arms and military equipment to Riyadh.
These members of Congress deserve a lot of credit for taking on a difficult task in challenging the administration over its support for the Saudi-led campaign in Yemen. … Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan was one of the letter’s signatories. …
A year ago, there were very few members of Congress that publicly opposed Obama’s policy of enabling the Saudi-led war, and now there are five dozen willing to take a public position against more arms for the Saudis.
