                         PRESIDENT NOT CORRECT

  (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. Mr. Speaker, over the weekend, Iran 
held another government-sponsored Holocaust cartoon contest in the 
capital of Tehran. Their denial of the mass slaughter endured by 
millions of men, women, and children during the Holocaust is yet 
another example of this theocratic regime's irrational and 
counterproductive conduct which hurts the citizens of Iran.
  As he announced the dangerous Iran deal, the President claimed that 
it would help Iran become a more moderate regime, one that respects our 
allies. The President was not correct.
  This is a nation that continually denies the genocide of the 
Holocaust, is a state sponsor of terrorism, tests missile development, 
and chants ``Death to America,'' ``Death to Israel.'' Sadly, the 
President continues to put faith in this dangerous regime.
  I am grateful that, under the leadership of Chairman Ed Royce on the 
House Committee on Foreign Affairs, we are putting forth legislation to 
deny Iran access to the U.S. dollar if they continue to promote 
terrorism to threaten American families with mass murder.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President by his 
actions never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
