Eliot Engel: “It is my great pleasure to yield 5 minutes to the gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Kelly), the author of this resolution.”

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

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

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

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