I thought we were debating Mr. Poe's and Mr. Connolly's bill. I didn't realize that climate change was on the agenda. Let me say that today, Secretary Kerry met with a bunch of businesspeople and led a meeting, and they talked about climate change because climate change is real. Madam Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Connolly), a valued member of the Foreign Affairs Committee and an author of this legislation.

More from Eliot Engel
I particularly want to thank Chairman Engel for his leadership, as well as the whole committee, for making the Caesar Act a reality.
I introduced the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act several years ago as a response to what we saw in this room.
Why have there been no designations by us of Russian companies and individuals who are so clearly and shamelessly giving Assad a lifeline?
I think that is scandalous and I think it, frankly, undermines whatever policy we are pursuing in Syria.
