I want to thank Mr. Meehan and Mr. Royce for their leadership. I oppose the Iranian deal for many reasons. Among the reasons is the over $100 billion windfall Iran will receive in unfrozen assets and sanctions relief. The administration has acknowledged that some of this money will be certainly distributed to the Iranian military, its global terrorist network, and to the Quds Force, an organization with American blood on its hands. We remember the marines and sailors killed in the bombing of the barracks in Beirut in 1983 and civilians in that embassy in Beirut, the airmen who died in Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in 1995. And what about the victims of the Iranian-financed attacks, like Alisa Flatow of West Orange, New Jersey, who died in a bus bombing in Gaza in 1995 and Sara Duker of Teaneck, New Jersey, who was murdered on a bus in Jerusalem in 1996? Who speaks for them, for those innocents and their families? This bill does.
