                     IRAN, STATE SPONSOR OF TERROR

  (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, let's not forget the kind of regime 
that exists in Iran, a country that will soon be receiving billions of 
dollars in sanctions relief.
  Look at this poster. Friday was Al Quds Day in Iran. And what were 
they all doing? Officially sanctioned parade, shouting ``death to 
America'' and ``death to Israel.''
  Iran has been labeled as a U.S.-designated state sponsor of terrorism 
for over three decades now. Yet, just yesterday the White House 
spokesman couldn't even confirm that Iran would remain on the terrorism 
list after this deal.
  How hard a question is it to answer, Mr. Speaker? Will the 
administration's next concession to Iran be to remove it from the 
terrorism list in addition to the billions of dollars in sanctions 
relief?
  Doing so would mean that we will be helping to finance Iran's support 
for terror, most of it aimed at us and our ally, the democratic Jewish 
State of Israel.
  Look at this poster, Mr. Speaker, where the Supreme Leader says, ``No 
cure for barbaric Israel, but total annihilation.''
  Doing so would be a problem of serious consequences to the United 
States. Let's get a better, tougher deal. We deserve better.
