Eliot Engel: “I would like to ask a question about Egypt and also do Lebanon as well, because I wrote the Syria Accountability Act.”

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

This coup is a blatant violation of the rights of the Burmese people.

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

I know Mr. Meeks very well and I know that he will do an excellent job--an excellent job--as chairman.
