U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern statement on reported use of chemical weapons in Syria

“I am deeply troubled by reports that the Assad regime may have used chemical weapons against its own people.  If those reports are confirmed, the international community must be united in its response to these grave human rights violations.  That response must pay special attention to avoiding additional civilian casualties to an already-suffering civilian population.  We must also remain very cautious about military intervention in light of the terrible price our soldiers and their families have already paid in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
