Thank you very much, Chairman Berman. I want to commend you for the excellent leadership you have provided on this extraordinarily critical issue. Ladies and gentlemen of the Congress, on the bleached bones of many great past civilizations are written those pathetic words, ``Too late.'' They moved too late. Let us hope and let us pray that we are not moving too late here on this measure. This is a critical piece of legislation. The Iranian regime, without any question, is after securing a nuclear weapon. The Iranian regime has already declared that they want to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth. This, quite honestly, is our last best chance to avoid the only other way we will be able to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, and that is through the use of military action. The only necessity for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing. Well, we are here today as good people, and we are doing something very important by passing this strong sanctions bill.
