Eliot Engel actually said...

"Austin represents the best of our country and this resolution reiterates that Congress remains committed to bringing him home and bringing all other Americans unjustly detained abroad home as well."

"America has historically been the global leader and the moral authority on basic freedoms and human rights, and we cede that leadership every day when we fail to denounce abuses abroad."

"To put it simply, we have got to get it done. Lives are at stake."

"That representation should reflect what our country actually looks like."
