We can, we must do more to support those with this disease.

Thank you for sponsoring this legislation.

Palliative care aims to relieve these stresses.

This bill, Mr. Chairman, is a clean reauthorization and would not increase government spending.

However, expressions of disdain are not enough.

There is yet time for South Sudan to make its pivot to peace and good governance by faithfully implementing a comprehensive peace accord.

If there is not greater security of these humanitarian personnel and supplies, vital assistance will diminish at a time that it is needed most.

Representative Engel has long called for the establishment of a diplomatic presence in the countries of the Eastern Caribbean.

We need to send a message to the people of Ukraine that we stand with them and to Putin that his aggression and bullying won't go unanswered.

This bill would impose new sanctions on any parties that continue to do business with the Assad regime.

The need for American leadership to end this crisis has never been greater.
