Congressman Don Manzullo (R-IL), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific, today issued the following statement regarding the devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan this morning
“Our thoughts and prayers are with our friends in Japan today as they work frantically to save the victims of this historic tragedy. I spoke this morning with my friend, Ambassador Ichiro Fujisaki of Japan who visited northern Illinois last summer, and offered our assistance. The images coming out of Japan are devastating and our hearts break for our close allies as they mourn the hundreds of lives lost and try to save others who are missing. The United States offered immediate disaster relief assistance and is joining the Japanese government in a major recovery operation. Our friends face a long recovery, and we will be there to help them along the way.”
