Congressman Henry Cuellar (TX-28) released the following statement after the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction officially rolled out the website for the committee:

“Today, the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, composed of a bipartisan group of Senators and Representatives who are tasked for the next couple of months to cut the deficit by $1.5 trillion over the next decade, officially rolled out the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction website: www.deficitreduction.gov. This website contains videos of hearings, statements, a schedule of upcoming hearings and a section to submit your input and suggestions to the committee. It is the job of every American to look at innovative ways to reduce spending, while ensuring programs that are important to us, such as Medicare and Social Security, continue to provide for the American people. I encourage all to visit this website as it contains important and relevant information as lawmakers begin to iron out a viable plan to put our country on track to fiscal responsibility.”
