Eliot Engel: “I urge all of our colleagues to support it.”

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.

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

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