Iran and the IAEA are quite well aware of our legislation. I can assure you they follow what you do every single day.

The President had all of the GCC, the Gulf Cooperation Council, to a meeting at Camp David to talk about how to develop security for the region and a regional strategy.

By blocking each of Iran's potential pathways to the fissile material required for a bomb, the deal approved in Vienna ensures that Iran's nuclear program will be peaceful over the long term.

It means that under this agreement and under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, Iran is prohibited from pursuing a nuclear weapon, obtaining, acquiring, or developing one. Ever. Ever.

If we walk away from this deal, Iran will begin marching forward with their program further.

the United States of America will not agree to a deal where there is not a real snapback provision.

I would like to begin by praising Mr. Garamendi, the gentleman from California, for this excellent presentation on why we should make it in America. But I am here today to talk about something that was made in Vienna, namely, the Iran…

We may be hours away from a deal with Iran. The question before us is not is it a good deal or is it a bad deal or what should the executive branch of government do. The question before us is what should Congress do if we have a President…

On rollcall No. 423, had I been present, I would have voted ``no.'' ____________________

On rollcall No. 422, had I been present, I would have voted ``yes.'' The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the passage of the bill. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the ayes appeared to have it…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. As he points out, we are 1 legislative day away from the end of the authorization of the Ex-Im Bank. American businesses are already losing contracts as foreign companies must decide whether to structure…

We are told that we will get free access to the Vietnamese markets. Vietnam doesn't have freedom. Vietnam doesn't have markets. They are not going to buy our exports any more than their Communist Party decides to do so. The chairman points…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, if we vote for trade promotion authority, fast track, without Trade Adjustment Assistance, if that is how we vote today, that is what we will get. The Republican chair of the Rules Committee…

If you vote for this bill, you get fast track without Trade Adjustment Assistance. There is no assurance Trade Adjustment Assistance will come to this floor or that it will come to this floor in a form that either Republicans or Democrats…

It is unacceptable that we have not debated in committee and on the floor of this House an AUMF and a foreign policy designed to fit current circumstances, designed to fit an Assad regime that has killed nearly 200,000 of his own people…

I don't want to characterize the resolution. I want to read it. It requires the President of the United States to remove all of our forces, except those needed to protect our diplomatic facilities--and here are the words--``by no later…

Intelligence is critical to our national security. It should not be besmirched by a controversial and unrelated procedural shenanigan, unprecedented in the annals of the House of Representatives. In the words of the President of the United…

I insert in the Record a chart showing that we have a $100 billion trade deficit with our FTA countries. Those are the official statistics of the U.S. International Trade Commission. Public Citizen, Washington, DC, February 2015…

The proponents of this bill have not played it straight as far as legislative procedure. They took a Senate bill that should be a ``yes'' or ``no'' vote on this floor and split it up into two or three pieces. It is one package. If you are…

I am going to address the issues that we will be voting on tomorrow: trade adjustment assistance and the trade promotion authority, or fast track. I know that a number of my colleagues are within the sound of my voice, and I hope that if…

I thank the gentleman for putting forward this amendment. Bob Hope is a local neighborhood airport. Only through a technicality was it denied a curfew. All the commercial carriers already adhere to that curfew. We have a handful of…

On rollcall No. 257, had I been present, I would have voted ``yes.'' The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment in the nature of a substitute, as amended. The amendment was agreed to. The Acting CHAIR. Under the rule, the Committee…

I thank the chairman and the ranking member for including my amendment in this en bloc. Section 3119 of the bill, as reported from the Armed Services Committee, seeks to deal with a significant issue that has come to light regarding some…

If the President signs an agreement, Iran will get certain benefits and certain funds will be made available to them. At the same time, Iran will ship its stockpiles out of the country--or a substantial portion of them--decommission some…

I thank the gentleman for his clarification. If this deal is signed, I do not think that Congress will enact a Resolution of Disapproval over the President's veto--maybe not even vote for it on the floor. It is even less likely that…
