Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak about one of the most important national security matters this Chamber will vote on, and that is the President's dangerous nuclear deal with Iran. We have heard a lot about this this morning. I heard a lot about it while I was in the district during the August work period. I traveled across Georgia's 12th District and spoke with my constituents about this terrible agreement. Today I come to the floor again to voice the concerns I heard from the overwhelming majority and to say to my colleagues in the House and Senate we must stop this deal. The consequences of the President's agreement are clear. We have heard it over and over. It will chart a clear path to allow Iran nuclear capability. In the meantime, the Iranian regime will use billions of dollars in sanctions relief to continue promoting terrorism. I visited Israel last month and met with the nation's leaders, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, and learned firsthand about the security threats Israel and the region face every day. We cannot allow this deal to move forward and further empower those who seek the destruction of Israel, the same leaders who shout ``death to America.'' I reject the President's false choice between this bad deal or war. ____________________

This is an opportunity to expand its authority, and force student-athletes into employee status and unionization, which really will only serve to restrict student freedom.
