An official position statement released Friday from the hard-line conservative group, which consists of around three dozen members, ran through demands on reauthorization of foreign surveillance powers; the annual bill authorizing Defense programs; overall government funding and appropriations; and border policy concessions in exchange for additional funding to Ukraine. In a nod to the “Festivus” holiday invented by the sitcom “Seinfeld” that consists of publicly airing grievances, the group called the statement a “Policy Festivus.” [/QUOTE]
