Eliot Engel: “I introduced the Anti-Swatting Act to address these very serious risks.”

The citizens of the Western Balkans want a better future for their children, stronger and transparent democracy, accountable governments, and greater economic prosperity and security.

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.

I know Mr. Meeks very well and I know that he will do an excellent job--an excellent job--as chairman.
