I would encourage the administration to immediately stop issuing JADE Act waivers.

Her recent statement questioning why the Rohingya were fleeing and denying that the military had conducted clearance operations, that is factually false.

It is a heartbreaking humanitarian disaster and it is getting worse.

This is a human rights issue and a national security issue. We will remain attentive to this pressing matter.

The State Counselor, Aung San Suu Kyi, she is a Nobel Prize winner, but she must make it a top priority to provide for the safety of those in Burma, including the Rohingya.

As I made clear when I wrote her a month ago, her government and the military have a responsibility to protect all of the people of Burma, regardless of their ethnic background or religious beliefs.

I would like to hear your opinion, one of the reasons we failed was the lack of funding.

the commitments you made yesterday go a long way in advancing a constructive working relationship. We won't always agree, but I think the constructive working relationship is very important.

But one of the criticisms the QDDR report, including from our committee, is that it failed to realize many of its goals.

There is no doubt that the State Department and all our Federal agencies should be as effective as possible to address the challenges and to seize the opportunities we are facing.

I will close now since there are no further speakers on either side. I want to start again by thanking Chairman Ed Royce for all of his work and for all of his collaboration working together with us; as well as Representatives Schakowsky…
