Eliot Engel: “I strongly support CHIP, the Children's Health Insurance Program, and our Nation's community health centers.”

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

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