                               IRAN DEAL

  (Mr. BABIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BABIN. Mr. Speaker, on this day, the 14th anniversary of the 
terrible attack of 9/11/2001, I rise to strongly oppose the deeply 
flawed, dangerous, and unacceptable deal that President Obama has 
struck with the Islamic Republic of Iran and its leader, Ayatollah 
Khamenei. To even stand here in the people's House of the greatest 
nation on Earth and discuss this course of action taken by the 
President is both shameful and embarrassing for our country.
  The Islamic Republic of Iran is the world's leading sponsor of 
terrorism. They have the blood of thousands of American soldiers on 
their hands. They lead chants of ``death to America,'' whom they call 
the Great Satan, and burn our flag in their streets. They declared just 
last week, with certainty, that Israel, whom they call the Little 
Satan, will be wiped off the map in no less than 25 years. This plan 
allows Iran to build a nuclear bomb in no less than 15 years. You do 
the math.
  The President's deal with a terrorist nation allows them to continue 
their nuclear program and gives them over $150 billion to fund 
worldwide terrorism.
  A vote for this deal, with all of its dire implications for the 
future of our children and grandchildren, could well be the most 
regrettable vote that a Member of Congress will ever take in his 
career.
