Mr. Chair, let me first thank the distinguished chairman as well as the distinguished ranking member for their great work with respect to this legislation. This amendment makes a modest adjustment to the bill that would increase funding…

It is time for the chairman to go.

If they pursue the nuclear path, there will be sanctions and there will be huge economic consequences.

But pursuing these negotiations is the logical extension of sanctions.

Iran is terrible; Iran with a nuclear weapon would be, you know, a much, much more difficult situation to deal with.

There is absolutely an opportunity to stop them from going down that road.

Everybody says that Iran is hell-bent to get a nuclear weapon, that they have made that decision, they are working towards it. And that simply isn't true.

The sanctions regime has, in fact, been working. It drove them to the table.

What has been approved by FERC is 3.9.

I do think it's been a very comprehensive hearing. Thank you for holding it.

Fortunately Senator, the market works. No matter where the gas is going to go from here it is going to help moderate prices globally.

I think that, you know, also being very clear that, you know, we are going to be entering this game on global LNG exports does get to the pocketbook issues of Russia, but also just helps allies around the world.

I would say, first it's not an either or, the question here. I think helping them with energy efficiency is a great idea.

The President has failed to encourage the Green Revolution, where the young people of Iran wanted change, regime change.

And, hey, the thought that we would be considering military dimensions--as we know, they are developing a ballistic missile capability that could attack southeastern Europe all the way back over to India. So our allies are at risk.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman from Arizona. As a nation, we have a debt of gratitude to our veterans, a debt that will be very difficult to repay; but, nonetheless, we must make every effort to do so. Mr. Speaker, I spent the last…

And we are going to need to continue to push back, I would say, far harder than we are now on Iranian shipment of arms, Iranian support for terrorism, and other activities like that, in part to show our allies that we are not stepping back…

Weakness will lead to conflict and more attacks worldwide.
