Eliot Engel: “It is now my pleasure to yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Lowey), my esteemed colleague, friend…”

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

We will continue to call out and hold accountable those who undermine the Dayton Peace Agreement or threaten the country's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and multi-ethnic character.

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

I particularly want to thank Chairman Engel for his leadership, as well as the whole committee, for making the Caesar Act a reality.
