                          IRANIAN NUCLEAR DEAL

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Madam Speaker, one of the most important votes we will 
maybe ever do in this House will happen probably later this week. I am 
talking about the Iran deal.
  Indeed, the original premise of the Iran nuclear deal was that Iran 
would be a nuclear-free, nonmilitary nuclear zone. That has already 
been conceded to in the deal we will be voting on here soon in the 
House and, I guess, over in the Senate as well.
  This is going to greatly affect the security of our allies like our 
good, solid ally, Israel, as well as others we do trading with in the 
Middle East.
  And if you don't think it affects U.S. homeland, then why does the 
deal include provisions not only after 5 years for being able to trade 
arms on the open market for Iran, but for them to have intercontinental 
ballistic missiles within 8 years? What do you do with ICBMs? I will 
guarantee it isn't delivering forget-me-not bouquets to the United 
States.
  Our security is on the line in this deal. Seventy-three percent of 
Americans don't even believe that we can strike a deal with Iran and 
have them keep their word.
  The Associated Press--and this is the real kicker--reported here 
recently that Iran would be self-inspecting, self-reporting on the 
deal. We can put no faith that they will uphold this deal and that they 
will adhere to any of the provisions in it.
  We need to vote ``no'' on this.
