                           IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL

  (Mr. HOLDING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HOLDING. Mr. Speaker, The Washington Post reports that the 
President knew of two secret side deals in the agreement with Iran but 
failed to inform Congress. More troubling, The Washington Post reports 
that, while the President and the Secretary of State know the 
agreements exist, neither has seen them.
  These agreements, which are between Iran and the U.N.'s International 
Atomic Energy Agency, govern the inspections of Iran's nuclear 
facilities. In its article, The Washington Post quotes the Deputy 
Director of the U.N. agency as saying, ``No American is ever going to 
get to see them,'' in speaking of these side agreements.
  Mr. Speaker, no one believes we can deal with Iran with a gentlemanly 
handshake, so the linchpin to any agreement is inspections. Why on 
Earth would the President make an agreement that includes secret deals 
between Iran and the U.N. agency which is doing the inspections that no 
American, including him, will ever see?
  It is beyond my comprehension. Congress needs to reject this bad 
deal.
