HOUSE OF REPS/PAUL RYAN: “U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan said on Thursday [6-22-17] he backs efforts to quickly move legislation to impose new sanctions on Russia and Iran that passed the Senate nearly unanimously but was stalled by a procedural issue in the House.
‘I support sanctions,’ Ryan told a news conference. He said Ed Royce, the Republican chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee ‘is very eager to move this bill,’ and added, ‘We honor that.’ “
