Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of Mr. McCaul's resolution to declare the policy of the United States that a nuclear Iran is not acceptable. I commanded a Green Beret Special Forces detachment that deployed a tactical nuclear weapon, and I stood strategic nuclear watch for 1 year. I was intimately familiar with the single integrated operations plan, the strategic nuclear plan. I knew in detail the tens of thousands of deaths that nuclear war entails. The United States and our allies, including Israel, must prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon by any means necessary. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this resolution.
