                         CHARLES AND DAVID KOCH

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE POMPEO

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 26, 2014

  Mr. POMPEO. Mr. Speaker, I would like to submit the following:

       ``We are disappointed, but not surprised, that Senate 
     Majority Leader Reid has once again falsely attacked Charles 
     Koch and David Koch today on the Senate floor. The Democrats 
     in general and Senator Reid in particular have targeted 
     Charles Koch and David Koch and tried to silence their 
     disagreement on important public policy issues since 2010, 
     using references to the IRS on occasion to do so. Senator 
     Reid's attack today--his third against Koch since January 
     30th--is particularly troubling because he appears to 
     reference a television advertisement produced by Americans 
     for Prosperity in which a Michigan woman suffering from 
     leukemia shared her experiences under Obamacare. While 
     Charles Koch and David Koch were not responsible for the 
     advertisement in question, we believe it is disgraceful that 
     Senator Reid and his fellow Democrats are attacking a cancer 
     victim as part of their campaign against Charles Koch and 
     David Koch.''
     Philip Ellender,
       President, Koch Companies Public Sector, LLC, Government 
     and Public Affairs.
