Eliot Engel: “This is an epidemic. I mean, this is just beyond the pale.”

This coup is a blatant violation of the rights of the Burmese people.

We like to say that the Foreign Affairs Committee... is the most bipartisan committee in Congress.

I particularly want to thank Chairman Engel for his leadership, as well as the whole committee, for making the Caesar Act a reality.

This legislation could go a long way toward putting Burma back on the path toward democracy.
