Time is of the essence for these Holocaust victims.

In spirit of Si's words, I believe these bills have merit as a means to draw strong attention to the plight of survivors.

We should never allow the slightest bit of doubt as to our seriousness of purpose regarding our efforts to prevent Iran from achieving a nuclear weapons capability.

I believe an objective determination is likely to show that the Central Bank of Iran is indeed involved in one or more of these activities.

It is not possible to stop Iran's nuclear weapons program without targeting its nuclear program as a whole...

The Central Bank of Iran is the linchpin of Iran's financial system.

We can't nibble around the edges. We need a sanctions regime that is as bold as the Iranian nuclear program is brazen.

This measure will give foreign companies incentive to do that.

I believe this amendment strengthens the legislation, and I urge my colleagues to vote for its adoption.

Yet, as I have said previously, nothing that we do or that the administration has done can be deemed truly effective until Iran ends its nuclear weapons program and stops supporting terrorism.

I also thank members on both sides of the aisle for their efforts and ideas geared toward improving this bill and strengthening our overall sanctions regime on Iran.

Mr. Berman's amendment pushes this forward, and it should be adopted.
