On the recordJanuary 13, 2016
I appreciate the chairman's leadership. The gentleman knows how hard I work in supporting freedom and of my opposition to totalitarian regimes. Yesterday, Mr. Speaker, we passed H.R. 757, the North Korea Sanctions Enforcement Act. Unfortunately, I missed that vote--that happens here sometimes--and the gentleman knows how I fully support it. Again today we address a problem with a rogue regime: Iran. I voted against the flawed Iranian deal. Iran still holds a marine veteran, a contractor, an American pastor, and a Washington Post reporter. They have tested two ballistic missiles. Sanctions should not be waived by the U.S. That is why I support this bill.
