Ileana Ros-Lehtinen: “Democracies have elections on schedule. They have free and fair elections.”

I am proud to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Conaway), the chairman of the Committee on Agriculture and the author of this measure.

I add my support for all the measures before us today.

It's important to note Ranking Member Engel's BURMA Act, which still needs to be passed and that aims to impose additional sanctions.
