                    IRAN NUCLEAR NEGOTIANTS DEADLINE

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, we are now less than 2 weeks away from 
the Iran nuclear negotiations deadline.

capability to enrich uranium, it can create a nuclear weapon.
  The administration has always misinterpreted the goal of our 
sanctions. They are to compel Iran to completely abandon its nuclear 
pursuit.
  As the deadline looms and as Republicans are set to control Congress, 
I urge my colleagues to not allow President Obama to trade away the

on its nuclear weapons program. Simply pushing back Iran's breakout 
time is not in the interests of the U.S. national security. Ensuring 
that there will never be an Iranian bomb is in our Nation's interest.
