WASHINGTON, May 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi and
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid today issued the following statement:

"Democrats are committed to fully funding our troops and changing
course in Iraq. In the coming days, we will work to send the President a
bill that does just that. We hope the President and Congressional

the funding they need and an effective strategy by next week. If they do
not, we are prepared to work through the Memorial Day district work period
