Rep. Pappas Statement on Afghanistan

August 15, 2021

Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) released the following statement on the situation in Afghanistan:

"The scenes from Afghanistan are devastating and deeply concerning. Our first priority must be the immediate evacuation of U.S. citizens, SIV applicants, and our allies who stood beside us and whose lives are now in danger. There will be time to re-examine foreign policy failures over two decades that shaped today's events. But now we must do all we can to ensure the safe return of Americans and our partners and honor the service of all those who deployed to Afghanistan and their families."
