Eliot Engel: “I am deeply concerned about Iran's ballistic missile program and its destabilizing behavior in the region.”

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.

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

I introduced the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act several years ago as a response to what we saw in this room.
