Eliot Engel: “We need to do everything possible to ensure that growth in Asia translates to growth and job creation here at home.”

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

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

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

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