Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.) and Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) have introduced bipartisan legislation that would guarantee congressional oversight in the Afghan peace process.<\/p>\n

The legislation requires U.S. diplomatic peace efforts try to achieve a political solution to the conflict in Afghanistan, and any agreement that emerges from that process be guided by congressional oversight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ensuring a Durable Afghanistan Peace Act of 2019<\/a> highlights the necessity of monitoring and verifying Taliban compliance with their commitments under an eventual peace agreement, including assurance that Afghanistan will not be used as a platform for international terrorism,\u201d Young said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The legislation supports peace efforts with the Taliban, supports the economic, social, and political progress that Afghanistan has made since 2011, and requires that any action to reduce or remove U.S. military forces include regular congressional consultations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no question it is time for a significant and sustained reduction of American troops in Afghanistan. Similarly, the way in which we draw down this military operation is critical so that Afghanistan does not descend into chaos,\u201d said Menendez in the statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis bipartisan effort is in line with the administrations goals to achieve a political end to the war in a responsible manner, and also seeks to protect the hard fought gains made for the righRead More \u2013 Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
