The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum recently released an important report on the Rohingya, called, ``They Tried to Kill Us All.'' The title should say it all, ``They Tried to Kill Us All.'' What clearer message do we need before we act? The time for action is now. I also want to thank the Government of Bangladesh for the humanitarian relief to the Rohingya people that they have offered. I want to call on our friend, Aung San Suu Kyi, to do everything that she can to protect the Rohingya from further ethnic cleansing and genocide. I want to thank Pope Francis for his courage in speaking out and using the term ``Rohingya.'' I urge all of my colleagues to support this measure. I thank my colleagues on the Foreign Affairs Committee for giving this issue the attention that it needs and deserves.
