Mr. Speaker, let's not forget the kind of regime that exists in Iran, a country that will soon be receiving billions of dollars in sanctions relief. Look at this poster. Friday was Al Quds Day in Iran. And what were they all doing? Officially sanctioned parade, shouting ``death to America'' and ``death to Israel.'' Iran has been labeled as a U.S.-designated state sponsor of terrorism for over three decades now. Yet, just yesterday the White House spokesman couldn't even confirm that Iran would remain on the terrorism list after this deal. How hard a question is it to answer, Mr. Speaker? Will the administration's next concession to Iran be to remove it from the terrorism list in addition to the billions of dollars in sanctions relief? Doing so would mean that we will be helping to finance Iran's support for terror, most of it aimed at us and our ally, the democratic Jewish State of Israel. Look at this poster, Mr. Speaker, where the Supreme Leader says, ``No cure for barbaric Israel, but total annihilation.'' Doing so would be a problem of serious consequences to the United States. Let's get a better, tougher deal. We deserve better. ____________________
