Eliot Engel: “Hunger pangs shouldn't be subject to shipping schedules.”

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

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

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