I believe that since the federal government required these dipping vats to be constructed, the individuals who complied with that federal requirement should be excluded from all liability under Superfund.

I look forward to working with both of you and our colleagues on the Environment and Public Works Committee to take additional steps forward in the months to come.

We're not giving any money to Iran that can change the course of history to try diplomacy. Is the MOU problematic? Yes. I would rather try diplomacy than take it off the table. The money Iran gets is not going to change the future of Iran.
