Corker Urges Senators to Oppose Bypassing Committee Process on Yemen Resolution

March 20, 2018 - U.S. Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, today urged senators to oppose an attempt by sponsors of a resolution on Yemen to bypass the committee process and force consideration in the full Senate. Corker noted the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will hold a hearing on Yemen and committee members will continue working to reach consensus on legislation related to the situation in Yemen that could pass the committee. He also announced plans for the committee to consider legislation updating the 2001 authorization for the use of military force (AUMF).
