We have a specific deal on the table, and we have to decide if that deal advances the national security interests of the United States and our allies.

For me, the most problematic aspect of this agreement is that, again, after year 15, there will be no restrictions at all on Iran on their producing highly enriched uranium.

While I am still reviewing the agreement, I must say I do have some serious questions and concerns about certain aspects of the deal.

It is important that we get input from a range of voices, and we are grateful for your time.

What is the alternative to this specific deal? If this deal doesn't go forward, can our sanctions regime and the P5+1 coalition hold?

I think their program is much more sophisticated in terms of being buried under mountains and things like that, and wasn't necessarily the case 10 years ago.

this might be a good thing, given the way they have acted in Ukraine and in Eastern Europe.

the United States has more influence over global energy production today than we have had in generations.

It is now my pleasure to yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern), the co-chair of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission and a longtime supporter of the Dalai Lama and of Tibet. Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, I…

To close. I urge my colleagues to support H. Res. 337. I think everyone who spoke made excellent points, and we are all of one mind. This is the right thing to do. We should support this resolution to honor the deep humility, respect, and…

I think one of the biggest problems with this deal is that the other countries in the region will pursue nuclear weapons.

I have said from day one the devil is in the details.

I just think it shows a failure all the way around the political spectrum, not one party, everybody.

we have to look at the choices that we have.

It would have been easier to take out their nuclear capability way back when because it was a lot smaller.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act…

On May 24, 2011, President Obama issued a memorandum on Federal fleet performance that required that all new light-duty vehicles in the Federal fleet to be alternative fuel vehicles, such as hybrid, electric, natural gas, or biofuel by…

I support these things. I think academic exchanges are a very critical tool to building relationships between Americans and people around the world.

We should put aside the question of whether these exchanges should take place, the value, as far as I am concerned is clear, but we should be asking how they take place.

the United States has had no better partner and ally in South America than Colombia.

There is so much that needs to be done, so much where our presence is necessary, and so much--when it comes to Colombia--progress that has been made.

It is my pleasure to yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from the District of Columbia, Ms. Eleanor Holmes Norton.
