Ileana Ros-Lehtinen: “The White House must stop putting politics ahead of our national security.”

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

In 2014, we supported a resolution that this committee passed--Jim McGovern's House Resolution 418, which called for an end to persecution.

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 would like to tighten the sanctions on those military leaders because I see that as the problem.
