Washington, Sep 20, 2007 - Congressman John Shadegg(R-AZ) today issued the following statement on Columbia University's invitation to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak at the University:

"Columbia University disgraces and embarrasses the United States with its invitation to a man who is personally promoting the death of American soldiers in Iraq. To allow someone who cheers the death of Americans and seeks to develop nuclear weapons to use against the United States and its allies, particularly Israel, is outrageous."
