Ileana Ros-Lehtinen: “The more things change the more they stay the same.”

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

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.

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

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