IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL
(Mr. ALLEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak about one of the most
important national security matters this Chamber will vote on, and that
is the President's dangerous nuclear deal with Iran.
We have heard a lot about this this morning. I heard a lot about it
while I was in the district during the August work period. I traveled
across Georgia's 12th District and spoke with my constituents about
this terrible agreement.
Today I come to the floor again to voice the concerns I heard from
the overwhelming majority and to say to my colleagues in the House and
Senate we must stop this deal.
The consequences of the President's agreement are clear. We have
heard it over and over. It will chart a clear path to allow Iran
nuclear capability. In the meantime, the Iranian regime will use
billions of dollars in sanctions relief to continue promoting
terrorism.
I visited Israel last month and met with the nation's leaders,
including
[[Page H5882]]
Prime Minister Netanyahu, and learned firsthand about the security
threats Israel and the region face every day. We cannot allow this deal
to move forward and further empower those who seek the destruction of
Israel, the same leaders who shout ``death to America.''
I reject the President's false choice between this bad deal or war.
