I think this bill is great for helping the people of Burma. It will provide much needed support and assistance to those who are suffering. I believe it is important for the United States to take action and make a positive impact in the world. This bill is a step in the right direction and I am proud to support it. #BurmaGAPAct #SupportingBurma
