Eliot Engel: “I don't think that is fair, quite frankly.”

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

This legislation, passed into law last December, mandates the most sweeping sanctions on Assad's enablers.

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

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