Eliot Engel: “American is a haven for the oppressed.”

We like to say that the Foreign Affairs Committee... is the most bipartisan committee in Congress.

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

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.

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