Eliot Engel: “This legislation passed our committee and the House last Congress and I am pleased that we are considering it again…”

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

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

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

I think that is scandalous and I think it, frankly, undermines whatever policy we are pursuing in Syria.
