  (Mr. MURPHY of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MURPHY of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as we approach the 
deadline of negotiations with Iran to stress that any agreement must 
unequivocally guarantee that Iran cannot obtain nuclear weapons.
  While a diplomatic solution is the ideal method of stopping Iran's 
illicit nuclear weapons program, we owe it to the American people of 
this country to end up with not just a good deal, but a great deal.
  A great deal means giving inspectors robust access to nuclear 
facilities to promptly verify compliance. A great deal means Iran 
acknowledges the full extent of its nuclear weapons program. A great 
deal would remove tools that

could leave Iran with a pathway toward nuclear weapons and provide a 
long-term solution. Finally, a great deal phases in sanctions relief so 
we aren't rewarding Iran for deception and noncompliance.
  A nuclear Iran is one of the greatest threats to the United States; 
our greatest ally, Israel; and to regional stability in the Middle 
East. I cannot stress enough how important it is that Iran must not, 
under any circumstance, be able to obtain a nuclear weapon.
