Ileana Ros-Lehtinen: “I am appreciative of your continued dedicated leadership on this issue.”

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.

The United States and our partners have a responsibility to do everything that we can to ensure humanitarian aid reaches the people of Venezuela.
