Eliot Engel: “I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 6986, the Protecting Human Rights During Pandemic Act.”

We will continue to call out and hold accountable those who undermine the Dayton Peace Agreement or threaten the country's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and multi-ethnic character.

I thank the ranking member, and I thank him for his kind words.

It is now my pleasure to yield 2\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Deutch), the author of this important bill and the chair of the Subcommittee on the Middle East, North Africa, and International Terrorism.

H. Res. 697 is a strong measure that encourages the continuation of close engagement between the United States and Tibet. I therefore urge Members to support it, and I reserve the balance of my time.
