Clinton: House Foreign Relations Bill Deserves Veto
(The Hill) Pete Kasperowicz - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday told House Republicans that the Foreign Relations authorization bill approved in committee last week would be "debilitating" to her efforts to conduct foreign policy, and that she would push for a veto. Among other reasons, Clinton cited as a problem language that conditions funding to Egypt, Lebanon, Yemen and the Palestinian Authority on certifications that no terrorist groups are involved in those governments. Clinton said this would require the administration to meet "burdensome and infeasible certifications."
