Eliot Engel: “I want to commend you for your incredible personal efforts to secure this deal.”

I introduced the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act several years ago as a response to what we saw in this room.

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

We will continue to call out and hold accountable those who undermine the Dayton Peace Agreement or threaten the country's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and multi-ethnic character.

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