                                Myanmar

  Madam President, at the beginning here, I want to briefly address the 
deeply disturbing reports of a coup in Myanmar. We are monitoring the 
situation with great concern, and the Biden administration is already 
providing briefings to the Hill on the state of affairs. Congress 
stands ready to work collaboratively with the new administration to 
resolve the situation.
  I know this is a region of longstanding concern and interest to the 
Republican leader, so I hope that we can productively work together in 
a bipartisan fashion to determine the best course of action for 
America's interest and for the people of Myanmar.
