I would like to especially welcome Mrs. Nguyen whose story I have followed for about a year.

I appreciate you having this important hearing on Human Rights in Southeast Asia: a Regional Outlook.

He should put his people ahead of his own personal pleasure or wealth.

Are we bold enough as nations that believe in democracies, liberties, and freedom to say, 'Until you change what you are doing, we are not trading with you?'

I want to move on to things that I hear over and over again.

The Philippines must also uphold the rights of indigenous persons.

We must also ramp up our engagement on human rights.

They do. I appreciate the gentleman bringing that up. I will talk about that at the end. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Perry), my good friend and colleague, the brigadier general.

This is a threat. This is not about being racist. It is about doing rule of law. Our good friend Steve King brought up a great point. This is rule of law. That is all we are asking: Follow the rule of law. This body has been derelict in…

Does the gentleman feel like it is politics being played over policy for the next election?

Overall, I mean people are pretty much, have they become complacent and say that is life in Cuba, right?

I would just think it is ludicrous that anybody thinks they are going to change habits down there.

I do not think it is going to change.

It squashes hope and outlook for the future, right, and so we know that.

I do not see a change coming, which is unfortunate.
