war. and let me beem clear. i am not in favor of giving the saudi-led coalition a blank check. in fact, i believe that we should do longer provide air refueling assistance in less it is usedcr to enable aircraft conducting counterterrorism missions pursuant to p the 2001 authorization of use for military force, or carry specific identified threats to saudi territorial integrity. indeed, use of our military assets to support floodlit efforts of other nations to conduct operations outside this narrow scope would raisese very serious legal questions. given itsom comprehensive approh i do not believe this is the appropriate vehicle for these issues to receive the careful and deliberate consideration theyre do. i understand the foreign relations committee may soon take up this issue and i urge them to do that. i look for to engage in further in those discussions when presented the opportunity. the administration must make clear to both the saudi-led coalition and the houthis is no military solution to this conflict, and the time has come to reach a negotiated settlement. congress al

-led coalition does not involve nip introduction of u.s. forces for purposes of the war power resolution or section 1013 of the authorization act, fiscal years 1984 and 1985. mr. president, i support that assessment, the refueling of aircraft over the red sea does not equate to introducing u.s. forces into hostilities nor does intelligence sharing. u.s. forces are not transporting saudi forces into combat within yemen by air, land, or sea. so the expedited procedures this resolution seeks to exploit simply do not apply here. if senators disagree with my assessment on the merits and oppose our support for the coalition, they have he'll several legislative tools available to them. they could try to restrict funds through the appropriations process. they could amend the arms control export act or the licensing of defense services or the national defense authorization. authorization act. instead we face a resolution which purports to require the president to withdraw u.s. forces from hostilities in yemen. hostilities which we have not entered. in a recent speech secretary ma

in sold out in the north down south including the capital sanaa but after three years of war the saudi led coalition hasn't really managed to push them back during the height of the offensive in twenty fifteen the operation was costing an estimated two hundred million dollars a day the u.s. gives to just to go and intelligence support to the coalition it is also the main supplier of arms to saudi arabia and the u.a.e. in the last five years saudi arabia has bought more than sixty percent of its weapons from the u.s. and the u.a.e. bought fifty eight percent of its weapons from the us as well i'm just international says there is evidence that this flow of arms to the coalition is having a devastating impact yemenis and here is why they have been more than six thousand verified civilian deaths since the conflict began about fifteen hundred of them were children the u.n. says the saudi led coalition airstrikes account for more than sixty percent of the civilian casualties the conflict has driven more than three million people from their homes more than twenty two million that's about three quarters of

war in yemen. i think a hearing before the senate foreign relations committee is critically important and to look at the u.s. military support of the saudi coalition and our overarching u.s. policy for resolving the war in yemen. ima appreciate the chairman has also made a commitment to a markup in the committee and the near future over legislation that deals with the question of yemen. and i also welcome his commitment to markup in a ums, authorization for the use of military force in the committee. those are significant and actually will go a l long way towards an important process about how we deal with this challenge. in considering senate resolution 54, i encourage my colleagues to assess the best way to promote core u.s. in the middle east, including pushing back on iran's aggressive and destabilizing actions across the region, countering terrorism and ensuring the freedom of navigation. to achieve these goals, our long-standing policies have been to partner with members of the cooperation council to promote the security and stability of the arabian peninsula. as they consider this resolution, we must fully grasp the situation on the ground
