Eliot Engel: “The ``whereas'' clauses just simply state the facts.”

Self-government is not some sort of temporary arrangement or gift from the military, it's a right that's owed to the people of Burma.

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

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.
