I believe the House of Representatives will stand on the right side of history in rejecting this dangerous deal. I have asked myself, as many people in this Chamber have asked, ``Why is this a good deal for the United States?'' Iran is holding four Americans illegally hostage in their country. That was not part of the negotiations. Iran continues to support worldwide terrorism. There is no restrictions on that in this deal. Fifty billion dollars will be immediately released to the regime with no restrictions on its use. That was not part of the deal. They continue to develop ICBMs, intercontinental ballistic missiles, that could reach the American mainland. There were no restrictions on that during this deal. We are told by the administration that, if we reject this deal, the rest of the P5+1 will not join us. Well, last week Iran's top cleric said America remains Iran's number one enemy. Days after the deal was announced, Iran's Supreme Leader called for ``death of America,'' not the death of France, not the death of Great Britain, not the death of Russia, not the death of China. It was the death of America. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Hultgren). The time of the gentleman has expired.
