“I think there has been a lot of things going on in the world in the last few weeks and a lot here domestically, things that have not been going well on the administration's agenda. Those have been well documented and are not the reason that I rise tonight. The purpose for my rising tonight is an issue that seems to want to distract from issues at home, and that is a very disturbing development with Iran and the administration's agreement that has been announced. {time} 1945 These are disturbing for many reasons. Tonight we rise, and I rise bipartisanly tonight, to talk about this because I want the people of Israel and I want the American people who are great friends of Israel to be assured that there are plenty of Members of Congress committed to this alliance, I am proud to be one of them. I also join with my friend from Illinois (Mr. Schneider), and I am excited to be a part of this and discuss for what will be a discussion of what we believe are the values that we share together. I would go ahead and yield for a brief opening here before we get started, Mr. Schneider, as we go forward tonight.”
