“As we often have in our history, our country benefits from strong differences of opinion on many important issues affecting both federal legislation and the federal government,” the letter says. “We believe it is important that we turn to the normal processes our government has for resolving these issues.”
The letter, signed by the presidents of the three organizations, adds: “We cannot afford to have either our government closed or our nation’s creditworthiness called into question as part of the way we resolve these important issues.”
