Eliot Engel: “When the President calls the press phony and tries to turn people against them, it is really just not helpful at all.”

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.

Why have there been no designations by us of Russian companies and individuals who are so clearly and shamelessly giving Assad a lifeline?

This legislation, passed into law last December, mandates the most sweeping sanctions on Assad's enablers.
