Eliot Engel: “We have worked very hard, all of us, in the 4 years to make sure that there is consensus in this committee.”

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

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

Self-government is not some sort of temporary arrangement or gift from the military, it's a right that's owed to the people of Burma.
