                     NUCLEAR NEGOTIATIONS WITH IRAN

  (Mr. DUFFY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DUFFY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my concern for the 
administration's nuclear negotiations with Iran.
  This administration has a questionable track record on diplomacy. 
Just 3 weeks ago, it put five Taliban commanders back on the 
battlefield. We are witnessing an unraveling of our hard-fought gains 
in Iraq because of the administration's inability to negotiate a status 
of forces agreement before our withdrawal of troops. Syria is in 
flames; al Qaeda is on the move; the Taliban are resurgent in 
Afghanistan as we talk about a drawdown. And the list goes on, Mr. 
Speaker.
  The administration has, time and time again, demonstrated terrible 
judgment when it comes to foreign policy. There are real concerns by 
experts who have testified in front of the Foreign Affairs Committee 
that the deal in regard to Iran's nuclear weapons not just leaves the 
region, but the United States, less safe.
  Mr. President, put down the pool cue, pick up the map, find your way 
to Capitol Hill, and let's work together to make sure we don't have a 
nuclear Iran.
