Mr. Speaker, in closing, this bill aims to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Burma by cutting off revenue sources for the country's ruthless and illegitimate leadership. Congress must do whatever is possible to protect human rights, stand for democratic values, and object to the atrocities committed against the Burmese people. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
