Hoping that these folks also abandon their support of terrorism by not shedding light on their corruption doesn't make any sense. Hope, Mr. Chairman, is not a national security strategy. My bill makes sure that Congress gets its priorities straight. Protecting American families here at home and safeguarding our troops around the world who are fighting for our freedom is what we should be doing every way we can, and that is what this bill does. Mr. Chairman, I would like to say that using one click of a computer from any corner of the globe to help expose illicit activities by the chief state sponsor of terrorism is a very, very good idea. Let's stand up for all the peace-loving nations in the world. Let's stand up to help our families protect their kids. Let's stand up to protect our homeland. I ask everyone, Republicans and Democrats, please vote ``yes'' for H.R. 1638, the Iranian Leadership Asset Transparency Act.
