Eliot Engel: “The farm community cares about food. It cares about people eating a nutritious diet.”

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

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

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