Eliot Engel: “It is really disappointing that the political will of the rest of the world has not really been there.”

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

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

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.

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