Eliot Engel: “There are just some mandates that just don't make sense that are costly, and the benefits are very, very minor compared…”

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

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.

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

This legislation could go a long way toward putting Burma back on the path toward democracy.
