                         UNCERTAINTY WITH IRAN

  (Mr. QUIGLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, the United States finds itself in a period 
of great uncertainty in the face of a new short-term deal with Iran.
  The fact that Iran has finally come to the negotiating table is only 
proof that sanctions are working. The strength of our sanctions has 
severely devalued Iran's currency, crippled its economy, and forced it 
to finally consider curbing its nuclear program.
  While we are hopeful for a broader deal, it is imperative that the 
United States and the international community remain vigilant. A 
nuclear Iran is the most pressing national security threat not only for 
the United States, but also for our allies in the Middle East, 
especially Israel.
  As talks move forward, our security and the security of our allies in 
the region must remain our number one priority.
