Eliot Engel: “I believe, as you do, that passing this legislation is one of the most important responsibilities of our committee.”

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

Why have there been no designations by us of Russian companies and individuals who are so clearly and shamelessly giving Assad a lifeline?

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

We like to say that the Foreign Affairs Committee... is the most bipartisan committee in Congress.
