I appreciate a good debate. This rule actually deals with two. One is the midnight rule, which again has been abused by both sides. Also, as it was just spoken of on the floor, there is this issue of the funds for the planes for Iran. Let me just say, I would love to go back and discuss the Iran deal that was put into place. I have been on this floor many times opposing that deal. We can talk about it. I don't think it was ever put into place to stop. Actually, there is this issue that they have complied. I just find it laughable that they have complied. They have tested rockets. They have sent people overseas. They have not complied with this. There is one thing that I agree with that the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer) said just a moment ago. I agree with him when he said: Yes, Iran has got everything they want.

I will just say this about this issue right here: If we could actually look at this, I will support Iran when Iran is willing to be a part of the world culture and starts recognizing Israel's right to exist. I will support Iran when they are signing their agreement and not shouting ``death to America.'' Let's play on a level playing field. I have got no problem with that. We are not debating that.
