On the recordOctober 25, 2017
Mr. President, I thank my colleague from Indiana for joining me on the floor today to raise awareness of the ethnic cleansing that has been occurring on the other side of our planet, ethnic cleansing by the Burmese military against the Rohingya Muslim minority. Just last week, together we sent a letter to U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. It was signed by 21 of our colleagues. It called for ``tangible actions against the Burmese government to end the violence, to help the Burmese people and make clear that there will be consequences for those who commit such atrocities against civilians.'' I am pleased to partner with my colleague on this. I think he will share some remarks, and then I will follow up with some remarks of my own. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Indiana.
