Eliot Engel: “I think the new leadership in Saudi Arabia is realizing that is bad for them, it is bad for their own societies, and it…”

I think that is scandalous and I think it, frankly, undermines whatever policy we are pursuing in Syria.

I know Mr. Meeks very well and I know that he will do an excellent job--an excellent job--as chairman.

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

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