Eliot Engel: “We need to resume the practice of passing our authorization bill on a regular basis.”

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.

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

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