Eliot Engel: “I cannot foresee any scenario in the near term in which we would have an interest in removing the countries currently on…”

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, passed into law last December, mandates the most sweeping sanctions on Assad's enablers.

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