I yield myself such time as I may consume. Dr. Robert Pape from Harvard's Journal of International Security has been quoted as saying the following: Sanctions have failed to achieve their objectives in 95.7 percent of cases since World War…

I yield myself an additional 5 minutes. One of the most troubling aspects of this legislation is, and it may be the area of the legislation that has not received much attention but it needs to have attention right now, and that is that…

I'm asking you, when you say this was amended out, it was amended out with respect to the citation of the Russian Federation----

As well as the section which spoke directly to the restrictions on the payments.

Okay. Well, I appreciate your pointing that out. But I would yield to my friend for a question. Does this legislation, or does it not, have a reference to the International Space Station and Russia? Is there a reference to it?

And is there any kind of restriction being placed on Russia with respect to payments in connection with the International Space Station? I yield to the gentleman from California.

It's time for the United States as a Nation to change its direction, to begin to see ourselves as a Nation among nations, not a Nation above nations, to begin to set aside war as an instrument of policy, to be sensitive to the power that…

The Congressional Quarterly House Action Report on this legislation states the following: that the measure, however, exempts such restrictions for assistance for the Bashir nuclear reactor in Iran which is being developed with the aid of…

I thank the gentlelady for yielding. I rise today in strong opposition to this rule and the underlying bill. How in good conscience can we allow States to fund re-employment programs with money that would otherwise be in the pockets of the…

May I ask how much time I have left. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Ohio has 4\3/4\ minutes, and the gentlewoman from Florida has 2\1/2\ minutes.

I would reclaim my time and respectfully suggest to my friend from California that even if you're extending the non- applicability, our friends in Russia will read this as being an attempt to try to put Russia in a position where we are…

As I am preparing to speak, I'm thinking about a debate we had 3 years ago where banks received $700 billion, about the Fed 1 month ago printing $7.7 trillion for banks in this country and abroad, and here we're telling the American people…

I reclaim my time. Perhaps the President is not restricted, which is good for the gentleman to say; but the very clear and plain reading of that is that it says no U.S. Government employee. I reserve the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro…

I would like to place in the Record an article from the Christian Science Monitor entitled, ``Used-car salesman as Iran proxy? Why assassination plot doesn't add up for experts,'' and also from Mother Jones, ``Four Things You Need to Know…

I realize, Mr. Speaker, that there are a number of people who want to speak on this who are in favor of this resolution. In order to make sure that everyone is provided a chance, although I may disagree with what Mr. Sherman is about to…

I will once again yield time to a colleague who I may disagree with, but he is entitled to 3 minutes, and I will yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Sherman).

We're rapidly moving from Iran sanctions to sanctioning the world here. I stand in support of nonproliferation. I think that this country should be leading the world towards nuclear abolition. Let us not forget that when the Soviet Union…

I want to say I have respect for all of my colleagues who are concerned about nuclear proliferation. We all ought to be concerned about nuclear proliferation. We can start with our own country. Right now we've set the stage for continuing…
