I thank Congresswoman Tenney for being here, for her remarks this evening, and for her leadership on this important deal. It is my pleasure at this time to yield to Congressman Andy Barr, who is a leader on the House Financial Services Committee. He has been very active in the efforts as it relates to sanctions. It is also important to note that it was sanctions that brought the Iranians to the table, and applied an incredible amount of economic pressure. The Iranian regime that is in charge desperately needed relief in order to get through their next election, and now the Iranians have had an opportunity to experience life with that sanctions regime and life without it. Chairman Barr is a very important voice here in the Halls of Congress for ensuring the right leverage is on the table to deal with Iran's nuclear and non-nuclear activities. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Barr).
