IRAN NEGOTIATIONS
(Mr. LOWENTHAL asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. LOWENTHAL. Mr. Speaker, the goal of the ongoing P5+1 negotiations
is to guarantee that Iran never develops a nuclear weapon.
As Congress assesses the final deal, I am going to draw upon a recent
publication which is entitled, ``Negotiations with Iran: Five
Requirements for a Good Deal,'' which details the following five
components: one, mechanisms supporting strong verification, including
anytime, anywhere inspections of all Iranian nuclear and military
facilities; two, Iranian compliance with all U.N. resolutions and full
disclosure of its previous work toward nuclear weapons; three, a
schedule which lifts sanctions only as Iran meets the agreement's
obligations; four, must include measures to prevent Iran from becoming
a nuclear threshold state; and, lastly, requirements that Iran
dismantle its nuclear weapon infrastructure and relinquish its
fissionable weapons material stockpile.
