Washington - Republican Study Committee Chairman Mark Walker released the following statement after the Department of Justice offered their guidance on religious liberty protections:

Faith is an essential part of America's social framework, and the Trump Administration deserves praise for its recognition of this. Our Founding Fathers understood the importance of religious liberty when they enshrined these protections in the First Amendment. The guidance provided by the Justice Department will help to ensure that all government agencies respect and comply with the religious liberty protections provided for in federal law so that no American is faced with discrimination because of their religious beliefs. At the RSC, we look forward to continued engagement with the Administration on this issue.
