#158: Responsibly End the war in Afghanistan(With Reps. Jones, Conyers, Woolsey, Welch, Nadler, Hastings, Paul)

·      Amendment to require a responsible end to the war in Afghanistan, by ending combat operations while protecting our troops by limiting funding to the safe and orderly withdrawal of U.S. troops and military contractors.

#131: Limit Pentagon Spending to the Budget Control Act(With Rep. Frank, Adam Smith, Woolsey, Stark, Schrader, Blumenauer)

·     Amendment which simply honors the terms of the Budget Control Act.  Congress voted last year to limit discretionary spending, but the House mark authorizes $8 billion more than the Budget Control Act.

#161: Appoint a Special Envoy to Prevent Iran from Acquiring Nuclear Weapons(With Rep. Conyers).

·     Amendment to appoint a Special Envoy for Iran to ensure that all diplomatic avenues are pursued to avoid a war with Iran and to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
