Among the members of Congress who were in a for a classified briefing session on Syria over the weekend was 4th District Congressman Jim Himes.  Himes says he is pleased the President is seeking Congressional approval for military action as required by law. 

But he wants to be called to session immediately, not waiting for their summer recess to be over on September 9th. 

Himes says Congress must be very clear on the specific objectives and possible consequences of any military action.  He called the Syrian civil war "complex and unpredictable".
