Ileana Ros-Lehtinen: “At this time I am proud to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Blunt), our distinguished majority whip.”

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

I am proud to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Poe), chairman of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade.

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

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