WASHINGTON, DC— Today, U.S. Reps Diana DeGette, Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, and Henry A.

Washington, DC – The Colorado Congressional delegation sent a letter today to President Obama asking him to approve a request for an emergency declaration due to severe flooding across Colorado. If approved, the declaration would make crucial assistance available from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for response and search and rescue efforts.

"As developments regarding a course of action against Syria continue to evolve, I am looking forward to hearing the President's address to the American people this evening. I continue to weigh evidence I have received in two briefings and will monitor ongoing developments as I determine what role the United States should pursue.

"I welcome the President's decision to ask for congressional authority for the use of military force against the Syrian government. Although it is the President's duty to protect our national security, Congress has the constitutional responsibility and power to approve the use of military force, even if the United States or our interests have not been attacked.

"As intelligence reports continue to be released and responses are weighed by the Administration, I strongly urge the President to seek a Congressional vote before any military force against Syria is executed and so Congress can exercise its Constitutional Authority.
