ADERHOLT STATEMENT ON REP. TOM DELAY TEMPORARILY STEPPING DOWN

WASHINGTON, DC -- Congressman Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) today made the following statement on Representative Tom DeLay (R-Texas) temporarily stepping down from the position of House Majority Leader:

"Tom DeLay is a strong leader and represents the conservative values held by the majority of Alabamians. Standing up for these values has made him a target. The unfolding events are unfortunate. I have confidence in our judicial system and, based on the information that I have been given, trust that this case will soon be decided in Representative DeLay's favor.

"Representative DeLay temporarily stepping down will not hamper our agenda in the House. We will still be working hard to bring down gas prices, oversee the distribution of funds for disaster relief in the Gulf Coast area, lower taxes, and support our troops."
