This legislation is critical to ensuring that Holocaust survivors and their heirs are compensated. Restitution and return will represent another step moving past this heinous chapter of human history. I want to thank my colleague and good…

For the purpose of closing. Mr. Speaker, it is no secret that the United States and Iran's leaders are at odds on a host of issues. Iran has killed Americans in Iraq. Its proxies seek to harm our citizens and our interests around the…

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 do. The SPEAKER pro tempore. On that basis, pursuant to the rule, the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Ros-Lehtinen) will control the 20 minutes in opposition. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas. General Leave

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

I thank my friend and colleague for yielding to me. I think he really just said it all. I had the pleasure of knowing Louise for almost 40 years. We served together in the New York State Assembly up in Albany, New York, and I was senior to…

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

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

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

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

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

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

It seems like another attempt at sowing division.
