What we have seen for far too long from the Palestinian Authority and Abu Mazen words and actions that are designed to incite violence.

The administration's policies in the Middle East and particularly with respect to Syria have been in a shambles.

The administration has attempted to assuage concerns that Iran will not use its sanctions relief to support terror.

I urge members to support House Resolution 277, which recognizes the democratic transition in Tunisia.

Violence cannot be condoned. And those truly seeking peace must speak out.

I urge all of my colleagues to do the same, and send a message to the people of Tunisia that we appreciate and support their efforts.

Today, the people of Tunisia are firmly going down the path toward democracy, as we have seen them reach multiple milestones.

Of course, this also means that Iran will have more money to support terror and its proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas.

From an economic perspective, the very concept of trade and investment in Cuba is grounded in the misconception about how business takes place on the island.

The whole point of sanctions, Mr. Secretary, was not to bring Iran to the negotiation table, and dismantling Iran's nuclear infrastructure used to be the administration's goal.

Inspectors will also be able to access any suspicious location. Put simply, the organization responsible for the inspection, the IAEA, will have access where necessary, when necessary.

It is alarming and striking just how similar the language is between President Clinton's 1994 announcement of a nuclear agreement with North Korea and President Obama's announcement of a nuclear agreement with Iran earlier this month.

These negotiations mirror the same track that the nuclear negotiations with North Korea took.

I was outspoken against the George W. Bush administration for removing North Korea from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list...

As Congress continues to do our due diligence on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action... it is important that we do not make the same mistakes again.

This de-listing of these individuals will unfreeze their foreign assets. It will lift their travel bans.

We will actually be helping Iran modernize. We will actually be helping Iran advance its nuclear infrastructure.

If Congress does not vote to block this agreement, we will certainly see, in addition to a conventional arms race, a nuclear arms race in the region.

This nuclear deal will not only not prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, but it will also likely precipitate war.

This will jeopardize our national security, the security of our ally, the democratic Jewish state of Israel, and indeed global security.

Thank you so much, Mr. Chairman, and I would just like to remind my good friend, Ambassador Burns, that while he says that there are two governments--Rouhani and the hardliners--both were very much active just this past Friday when they…

Thank you so much to the gentleman from New York. Mr. Speaker, I yield to my colleague from Florida, Dr. Yoho. {time} 2115

Thank you very much, Mr. Collins. I think you laid it out in a thoughtful manner. No deal is better than a bad deal. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Zeldin).

Thank you very much, Mr. Lance. May it be so; from your words to God's ears, may we get this strong deal that can truly be verified. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Curbelo), my colleague, a man with whom I have had…

Mr. Davis, I quite agree with you. The more we know about this deal, Mr. Speaker, the more we know it is a weak, dangerous, bad deal. Thank you, Mr. Davis, for sharing your insight with us. I yield to Mr. Lance of New Jersey, who has long…
