Durbin<\/a> gave a speech ahead of floor consideration of the fiscal 2019 defense authorization conference report in which he decried, \u201cthe irresponsible removal of provisions related to Myanmar, formerly known as Burma.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cThe House bill contained five provisions restricting security engagement with Burma, imposing sanctions on Burmese officials responsible for human rights abuses and requiring the State Department to make a determination on whether the atrocities committed against the Rohingya people, a minority, constituted ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity or genocide,\u201d the Illinois Democrat said.\r\n\r\nThe Senate Foreign Relations Committee has advanced similar legislation, authored by Armed Services Chairman <a class=\"memberLink\" title=\"Click to view member info in a new window\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollcall.com\/members?26&amp;utm_source=memberLink?utm_source=memberLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" shape=\"rect\">John McCain<\/a> of Arizona and Sen. <a class=\"memberLink\" title=\"Click to view member info in a new window\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollcall.com\/members?228&amp;utm_source=memberLink?utm_source=memberLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" shape=\"rect\">Benjamin L.

But, when it comes to Myanmar, perhaps there should be no surprise.\r\n\r\nDurbin attributed the&nbsp;rejection of the House language&nbsp;to a Senate leader, which was more than likely McConnell. The Kentucky Republican has had a long interest in Myanmar, and he has long<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollcall.com\/news\/politics\/mcconnell-defends-suu-kyi-calling-end-violence-rohingya\" shape=\"rect\"> supported and defended<\/a> State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, even as she has come under a barrage of criticism in recent years.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Senate Majority Leader insisted that there be no Burma sanctions in the NDAA,\u201d a House aide confirmed to Roll Call after the Durbin speech.\r\n\r\nMcConnell\u2019s office did not offer an immediate reaction.\r\n\r\nDurbin\u2019s remarks on the Senate floor included a direct message to Suu Kyi, who was long viewed as a champion of democracy, earning a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rollcall.com\/issues\/58_21\/Out-of-Darkness-217544-1.html\" shape=\"rect\">Congressional Gold Medal<\/a> back in 2012.\r\n\r\n\u201cIn Burma, the government authorities to continue to deny that any of this took place,\u201d Durbin said. \u201cI\u2019m particularly disappointed in Aung San Suu Kyi. Her silence on these problems is hard to explain.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe Senate is expected to vote on the defense conference report on Thursday, according to Sen. <a class=\"memberLink\" title=\"Click to view member info in a new window\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollcall.com\/members?400&amp;utm_source=memberLink?utm_source=memberLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" shape=\"rect\">James M.
