Iraq and Syria Genocide Emergency Relief and Accountability

Statement

Chairman Smith on the hearing: "Some career staff at the State Department and USAID are thwarting the commitment of the President, Vice President and Congress to give aid to Christian and Yazidi survivors of the ISIS genocide. These religious and ethnic minorities are at risk of soon becoming extinct in Iraq, unless we help them. This hearing will focus on the current crisis and what the Administration can and should do now to help ensure these communities survive."
