Eliot Engel: “If we do not speak out for human rights and democratic freedoms in China, we lose all moral authority.”

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

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

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

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