Rep. Tom Reed (R-Corning)
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama over the weekend said that he would seek the permission of congress prior to having the U.S. get involved with the Syrian civil war. On Saturday, the president announced he would ask Congress to support a strike punishing Bashar Assad’s regime for the alleged use of chemical weapons.
As a result, Chautauqua County’s Congressman, Tom Reed (R-Corning), has announced that he will conduct six listening sessions this week before returning to Washington to debate President’s Obama’s request for consent.
The Corning Republican said that while many constituents have called his offices with their thoughts on whether or not the U.S. should get involved – he said he also wants to hear people’s thoughts in person.
