I thank Congressman Rokita for being here and for his important words as well and for all of the Members who have spoken. I recognize House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce, Congressman Pete Roskam, and former Congressman, now…

Congressman Yoho brings up some very important points. The Iran nuclear deal was an unsigned political commitment. Those were the words that were given to us by the administration, and to think that we wouldn't have even asked for a…
