PALO ALTO, C.A. – Today U.S. Rep. Anna G. Eshoo (CA-18) released the following statement on the situation in Afghanistan:

"It was the right decision to end the forever war in Afghanistan. I travelled there several times and saw first hand the magnificence of our courageous women and men serving. Now the U.S. must do everything humanly possible to evacuate American personnel, the Afghans that assisted us, and journalists, and no artificial deadline should stop us. My office is working around the clock to assist those who are seeking our help."
