IRAN DEAL
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, last week, the House of
Representatives thoughtfully voted three times to oppose the Iranian
nuclear deal. This bipartisan effort represented the will of the
American people, where the majority oppose this deal. The first vote
was a sense of Congress that the President failed to comply with the
law to submit all agreements to Congress. The second vote was to defeat
the deal, and the third vote was to prevent the President from lifting
sanctions on Iran until 2017.
I am grateful to Chairman Ed Royce for his leadership in holding
hearings and advancing legislation to fight this dangerous deal. Sadly,
they are blocked in the Senate by Democrats who fail to see the threats
of ``death to America,'' ``death to Israel.''
This is a historic mistake. The President is flooding billions of
dollars to the Iranian regime to fund terrorist attacks and has paved
the way for Iran to develop nuclear weapons. The President's legacy in
the Middle East, failing to enforce the red line in Syria, has led to
the refugee crisis and chaos, with children drowned at sea. American
families deserve peace through strength.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President by his
actions never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
