The importance of U.S. engagement it is just critical.

As Mr. Hall mentioned before, as I get older these issues I am raising are becoming less theoretical and more personal.

This legislation should really help. And it is H.R. 1648 and H.R. 1649 as you mentioned, and Ms. Velazquez and I introduced it together.

I want to thank the witnesses especially for taking the time out of their busy work day to be here with us.

Thank you, Madam Chairwoman, and good morning to all those that are here today.

It is vitally important that we support a democratic and unified Ukraine by not giving in to Putin's thuggish behavior.

Passage of this bill would cement firmly in place the policy that the United States will not recognize Putin's bogus claims over Crimea.

I want to thank Mr. Connolly for his hard work on this important legislation.

I would move that the minority members of the Committee be permitted to offer additional views and estimates on the budget for fiscal year 2020.
