                         THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL

  (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, on Thursday, at 1 p.m., Congressman 
Ted Deutch and I will convene a subcommittee hearing on the dangers of 
a nuclear deal with Iran, the dangers that this could pose for the 
United States and global security interests.
  Retired General Michael Hayden, former Director of both the NSA and 
the CIA, will be testifying to share his concerns about Iran's past 
weaponization efforts and the guarantees needed to monitor and verify 
this agreement. In fact, he has warned that, were he still in his role 
as CIA Director, he ``would feel compelled to advise the President that 
the agreement could not be adequately verified.''
  Mr. Speaker, Congress needs to remain engaged. We need to continue 
our oversight. We need to use all the tools that we have available to 
us, including strengthening and increasing sanctions against this 
regime, in order to ensure that the President does not sign an 
agreement that is not in our national security interests.
