On the recordDecember 11, 2018
In closing, I am worried that Vladimir Putin is becoming emboldened because he has faced no real consequences for his ongoing violations of international law. I am glad we are considering this resolution today, saying that he should face consequences. I wish we had more time in this Congress to work on legislation that could make those consequences real. I am committed to staying focused on this issue when we come back in January. For now, I am glad we are sending this message, and I am glad to stand shoulder to shoulder as I have so many times over the past 6 years with my friend, Ed Royce, as we pass this measure. Mr. Speaker, again, I thank the gentlewoman from Florida, Ileana Ros- Lehtinen. I ask all Members to support this, and I yield back the balance of my time.
