I do, indeed. The gentlewoman makes a point that is so very important, the readiness and the ability to fight 21st-century warfare on a lot of different fronts. Madam Speaker, my colleagues and I will say part of that is naming and knowing your enemy, radical Islamist extremists. That is the enemy, and that is one of the reasons that this deal that the President announced this morning is so terribly disturbing to us. His advisors had said that no deal is better than a bad deal. Guess what. What we saw from the President this morning is a pretty bad deal. Here is what Iran gets to keep in this deal: 5,060 centrifuges. It includes an 8-year limitation on uranium enrichment. Think about that, an 8-year limitation. So, then, are we setting a time certain that Iran can move forward? This is something that our constituents and the American people need to know about. Then you look at the other components of this, the IAEA's not having the ability to just move forward and inspect anytime anywhere, but having to give that 2-week notice. That is something, again, of tremendous concern. The President has threatened to veto any legislation that impedes the nuclear deal. My hope is that Congress is going to stand up and say ``no'' to the President in this deal and that we will say ``yes'' to increasing the security of this Nation.
