Eliot Engel: “Amendment to H. Res. 650 offered by the Honorable Eliot L. Engel.”

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

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

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

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