U.S. Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, the ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, released the following statement on the death of Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen: “This is a great day for America. This is the second biggest blow to Al-Qaeda since September 11th, 2001, right behind the elimination of Osama Bin Laden.

Ranking members of the House Government Select Committee votes in favor of deal.
Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger voted in favor of the budget deal that passed Congress Monday evening. In a statement issued to media, Ruppersberger outlined the deal, which increases the nation's debt limit by at least $2.1 trillion and will cut $1 trillion from the budget over the next 10 years. The measure passed the House by a 269–141 vote. From Dutch's desk: Americans elect their representatives to work together to do what’s best for the country.

Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD) said it only took one photograph to identify the lifeless body of America’s “No. 1 target”—Osama bin Laden.

The deal, which cut more than $38 billion from the federal budget, came about an hour before the deadline.
President Barack Obama and leaders of Congress came to an agreement late Friday to narrowly avoid a government shutdown that would have furloughed thousands of federal workers. The deal came with about an hour to spare before the midnight deadline as Democrats and Republicans came to a consensus to cut more than $38 billion from the federal budget. Once the compromise was reached, Congress acted quickly to pass a measure to keep the government running until the budget can be officially approved next week. “Last night, after weeks of long and difficult negotiations over our national budget, leaders of both parties came together to avert a government shutdown, cut spending and invest in our future,” said Obama during his weekly video address…
