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

The citizens of the Western Balkans want a better future for their children, stronger and transparent democracy, accountable governments, and greater economic prosperity and security.

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.

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