Laura and I are welcome—are pleased to welcome members of the Lantos family. Mrs. Lantos, thanks for joining us; and Members of Congress who care deeply about democracy in Burma. I’m going to sign a piece of legislation and a joint resolution that will continue some sanctions, impose new sanctions, and extend import restrictions. On the Burmese regime, our message is: The United States believes in democracy and freedom.
Not only will I sign the joint resolution, I’m also looking forward to signing the Tom Lantos Block Burmese JADE Act of 2008.
Thank you all for joining us. Thank you for your caring.
