Today’s Agenda

Today, Senator Lee will give remarks at the Annual Utah
Taxpayers Association in Salt Lake City. 
After travelling back to DC, he has an interview with Bloomberg News to
discuss possible spending cuts in the budget

From the Senator’s
Desk

“This is the most important budget
debate in our lifetime. Future generations will judge us based on the actions
we take at this pivotal juncture. As we watch countries like Greece, Ireland,
and Portugal forced into severe austerity measures and risking default because
of unsustainable spending decisions, we believe it is necessary to reduce our
spending and deficits to ensure we do not suffer the same fate.” -Mike Lee

Around the Water
Cooler

On
Libya: President exhibiting “dangerous and arrogant lawlessness.”

Debt
Ceiling: “Let’s have the crisis and let’s move this nation toward actions
that will result in real long-term improvements to our fiscal health and assure
our country’s future.”

A Look Ahead

Senator Lee is appearing on CSPAN’s Washington Journal
Tuesday morning. That afternoon he’ll attend a joint session of Congress
featuring the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.  Later he’ll meet with a group of constituents
in the Utah construction industry and hold his weekly Utah press teleconference
that evening.  Pending legislative
activity includes reauthorization of the Patriot, potential votes on the
House-passed budget and President Obama’s budget, and confirmation of the
