Pt. 4 April 5. 2006 humbles me. The atrocities being perpetrated against the innocent civilians of Darfur must be condemned in the strongest possible terms by this Congress. the Administration. and the international community. H.R. 3127 attempts to address the dire situation in the Darfur region by reaffirming the sanctions already in place against Sudan. and by authorizing the President to block the assets and deny the visas of those deemed to be responsible for the genocide. It has taken several months to come to agreement on a version of the bill that could move forward with bipartisan support. This bill is a better bill as a result of the discussions that took place. and I am happy to support it.
