Will the gentleman yield? You said you would yield to a Democrat who could quote Mr. Cordray.

He has responded to my question and said of this grace period, so it will ``be diagnostic and corrective, not punitive, and there will be time for them to work to get it right.''

Back in the old days, this bill would have just passed on suspension. It is bipartisan, it is small, and it is temporary. Both sides have praised the CFPB's efforts in coming out with this rule. Both sides believe in a grace period, and…

When I came to this House in 1997, a few months after I started serving on the Foreign Affairs Committee, I said back then that the Iran nuclear program was the greatest single threat to the security of Americans. It was true then. It is…

It is true that in these first 6 months we have not shut down all of their production of any ballistic missile that could have anything to do with delivery of a nuclear weapon, but that is indeed something that has to be addressed as a…

I also fear a vote of disapproval would weaken the effectiveness and credibility of the United States in the Middle East and around the world.

they are not close to it right now. They are at least a year or 2 years away from a nuclear weapon.

This deal is based on verification, not trust.

To be fair, every President, Democrat or Republican, has built on the efforts of the previous President, so each President has increased that assistance.

The U.S. Congress has the authority and the right under our Constitution and under the Corker-Cardin legislation to, in fact, review this and to vote a resolution of disapproval.

A Congress that sought greater unity with President Obama would help to strengthen our country for the struggles that are inevitably ahead with Iran.

I think the best comfort is the one that Acting Under Secretary Szubin gave...

I believe that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is the most profound, the most far-reaching arms control agreement ever negotiated and that indeed it will keep this country, Israel, and our allies safer.

Well, actually, it is the IAEA and every country with which it does Safeguards---- Confidential Protocols.

The President of the United States has said he will not allow them to obtain a nuclear weapon.

The United States of America would not have agreed to an agreement where access was not assured if the IAEA believed it had to have it.

To build a nuclear weapon, you not only need fissile material--which today the breakout time is 2 to 3 months; under this agreement it will be a year for at least 10 years.

A vote of disapproval in the absence of a credible alternative, would, after 10 years of effort, be self-defeating for our country.

I would urge you to speak with them directly. I think you will get the right answer you are looking for.

If Congress votes to disapprove and manages to override the President's veto, it would very likely dismantle the agreement.

They would lose an opportunity to have sanctions relief.

Thank you very much, Senator. Indeed, we share the concerns that this Committee has and the Senate has and our country has about Iran's activities in the region.

Iran has committed indefinitely to not engage in specific activities that could contribute to the design and development of a nuclear weapon.

Successful implementation of the nuclear deal will require strong, self confident and determined American leadership.

The IRGC does not support this deal. That should tell you something.
