Eliot Engel: “It would seem to me that we should make it clear, or that you should make it clear that that could not happen.”

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.

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.

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