This morning at a House Foreign Affairs Committee markup, I offered an amendment to H.Res. 17 regarding American journalist Austin Tice who is currently being held captive by Assad. We as a United States Congress will always support efforts to free Americans held abroad by terrorist groups and rogue regimes. But I am concerned that the recommended approach of publicly endorsing engagement with Assad – a mass murderer and war criminal – is misguided. Assad has presided over the genocide of his own people, and he is still butchering innocent Syrians and holding thousands as we speak here today. We should never take a public stance legitimizing such a regime. Now this bill is just a resolution, but I want to make clear to the Assad regime today: the United States Congress will never legitimize you, we will never give you diplomatic recognition, and we will always call for you to be held accountable for the atrocities you committed and continue to commit against humanity. Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Engel made it clear in his landmark Caesar Syrian Civilian Protection Act that sanctions relief for the Syrian regime should not be on the table till all political prisoners in Syria are free. I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment. I hope that all the Members of this committee will stand with me to ensure that is indeed what happens. I spoke today on my amendment that reiterates the Caesar bill’s call on the criminal Assad regime to release all political prisoners and allow international human rights organizations access to its prisons.
