Baird, French Hill, Brian Mast, Thomas H. Kean Jr, Cory Mills, Keith Self and Aumua Amata Coleman Raewagen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The license, which authorized direct transactions with the Assad regime for earthquake relief efforts for 180 days, \u201cundermines the efficacy of our sanctions and, by extension, the prospects for accountability for the Syrian people,\u201d the members wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are already existing exemptions that \u201ccover a range of humanitarian activities, and provide sufficient flexibility to navigate the complex operating environment in Syria,\u201d the letter read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The representatives strongly urged Biden to allow the license to \u201cexpire on August 8 as intended in order to preserve the integrity of our Syria sanctions,\u201d the letter concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Editing by Farzand
