                         NUCLEAR DEAL WITH IRAN

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BARBARA COMSTOCK

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 16, 2015

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr Speaker, I rise today, on the fourteenth 
anniversary of the September 11 th terrorist attacks, and the third 
anniversary of the Benghazi attacks to join the bipartisan opposition 
to the president's unverifiable, unenforceable, and unconscionable Iran 
deal.
  This deal will lift sanctions that will unleash billions to Iran and 
reward those who chant ``Death to America''--those who are the world's 
leading state sponsor of terror
  In March, I signed a bipartisan letter with 367 of my colleagues 
saying, ``A final . . . agreement must constrain [Iran] . . . so that 
[it] has no pathway to a bomb . . . .
  On this floor, Republicans and Democrats alike have explained how 
this deal will lead to a nuclear Iran in a dozen to 15 years or 
earlier.
  Will a nuclear Iran make the world a safer place? When I spent a week 
in Israel in August, the answer I heard from civilian and military 
leaders across the political spectrum was resoundingly ``NO'' to this 
deal.
  Iran's neighbors are among those most opposed.
  The senior Democratic Senator on the Foreign Relations Committee has 
said, ``If Iran is to acquire a nuclear bomb, it will not have my name 
on it.''
  I urge my colleagues to add their names to the bipartisan opposition 
to this dangerous deal with Iran.
