Rep. Walkinshaw Introduces Resolution to End U.S. Military Involvement in Iran Hostilities
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process and is being reviewed by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. No further actions are scheduled at this time, and the bill is not moving forward. There is no companion bill listed for this measure.
