Eliot Engel

French President Macron reminded us that there is no planet B.

The ties between the United States, Mexico, and Canada are longstanding and deep; and I am pleased that the United States can continue to come together in partnership with our friends from both of those countries on the United Bid…

I believe Ambassador Haley when she clearly stated, 'I don't get confused.'

We must be horrified and furious about the butcher who drops barrel bombs on schools and hospitals, who uses chemical weapons against civilians.

What's the strategy to actually counter Russian and Iran's very real and dangerous enabling of Assad?

The slaughter of over 1/2 million people shocks our conscience in Syria as it would and must shock our conscience in any other country.

I really think to rid Syria of the butcher Assad ought to be as important as the--as our ISIS concerns.

Our goal should not have been only the defeat of ISIS. That should have been one of our goals but should not have been the only goal.

If America is to remain a leader on the global stage, we must continue working to end the bloodshed.

Assad is just a butcher and a murderer and it just breaks my heart that we didn't offer support to the Syrian people when they needed it the most.

Even under the most generous interpretation of the War Powers Resolution, the 60-day clock started ticking when the President notified Congress of the attack.

We need Engel's Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, as I said, which has unanimous support in the House.

I have to say after the President personally overrode his own administration's plan to sanction Russia for its support of Assad, I think this bill is needed now more than ever.

Rather than forming the policy that would help to resolve this crisis, I feel that the President has only made it worse.

I hope you'll tell us today if the strategy will be sent to Capitol Hill without any more delay.

The use of the weapons cannot stand and whoever would use them and whoever would support those who do cannot go unpunished.

Assad has the blood of hundreds of thousands of innocent Syrian men, women, and children on his hands.

Assad's a murderer, a butcher. His brutality is sickening and it goes on every day.

If the administration plans ongoing military action, Congress must first authorize it or prevent it.

These actions to empower women economically will help communities thrive, help economies grow, help opportunity expand.

This is a great bill, and I thank the drafters, Representative Chris Smith and Betty McCollum, for their hard work.

We have an interest and a moral obligation in tackling this problem as part of our foreign policy.

I am proud to be the lead Democratic cosponsor of this legislation and I urge all members to support it.

I don't think the FCC has either used all of its own tools or cooperated strongly enough with other law enforcement agencies.

It seems like another attempt at sowing division.
