Eliot Engel: “No issue concerns me more deeply than that of the disposition of Syria's weapons of mass destruction.”

We like to say that the Foreign Affairs Committee... is the most bipartisan committee in Congress.

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.

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