Eliot Engel: “I am glad Mr. Machar has returned and consider this an important but modest step forward.”

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

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.

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