We have made significant strides in our efforts to reform Medicaid, both in terms of cutting costs and improving the quality of care that patients receive.

Over the past 2 years, I have supported our negotiating team in the P5+1. I have favored giving time and space to achieve a diplomatic breakthrough to foreclose Iran's pathways to a nuclear weapon. I am grateful for the tireless efforts by…

I now yield 3\1/2\ minutes to the gentlewoman from Florida, Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

I would like to inquire how much time I have remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has 8 minutes remaining.

This has been an area of deep personal concern of mine.

I cannot support the Iran nuclear deal. I have laid out the concerns that led me to that decision.

I would say that there have been no two stronger champions in this bipartisan effort than the two of you.

the new U.N. Security Council Resolution 2231...lifts the arms embargo on Iran after 5 years.

As far as I knew, these issues weren't even on the table, yet with this deal, a few years down the road Iran could be buying advanced weapons and building missiles and still be fully compliant with its obligations.

I support it with reservations and I recommend your approval of the plan.

Neither we, nor the Iranians, really trust each other to actualize the features of this deal.

Unfettered access for inspectors is the only way we can be sure Iran stops its work toward a nuclear weapon.

I am not persuaded that this deal will give IAEA inspectors the access they need to do their jobs.

I believe the deal gives away too much when it comes to sanctions on advanced conventional weapon and ballistic missile development.

The implementation is going to require close scrutiny and verification.

I think that the most important--the obligation we have is to judge the deal on its own merits.

We must prioritize the physical and psychological welfare of those women and girls who have escaped from ISIS.

I think our air power should have been used back then in order to degrade and slow or defeat them.

Ranking Member Engel and I have pressed for the consideration of no-fly or safe zones in the region.

I can't help but thinking if we had been there and had done it when it should have been done, might things have been different now in Syria?

The truth is that after 15 years Iran is a nuclear threshold state.

A nuclear agreement doesn't whitewash the fact that Iran continues to remain a destabilizing actor in the region.

Congress gave itself 60 days to renew this deal, and I sincerely hope my colleagues take full advantage of this time to study this agreement.

I was very disappointed that these sanctions will eventually be lifted.

These are complex issues, and I look forward to what should be an extremely informative hearing.
