                      IRAN DEAL IS BAD FOR AMERICA

  (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, July 14, 2015, the day our President went 
against Congress and the wishes of the American people and signed a 
nuclear agreement with Iran.
  The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, more commonly known as the 
Iran deal, provided Iran sanctions relief in exchange for Iran to 
dismantle their nuclear program.
  One year later, America has upheld its part of the bargain, but Iran 
continues to violate the terms of the agreement with little to no 
consequence. That is why today, on the 1-year anniversary of the Iran 
deal, the House passed legislation to reinstate sanctions on Iran.
  History has proven Iran cannot be trusted. I thought it was a bad 
deal for America and Israel from the beginning, and I still do.
  Mr. Speaker, no one can predict the future, but it is foolish to turn 
a blind eye to history. I voted to stop the Iran deal because I could 
not support any agreement that puts the security of Americans and our 
allies at risk and emboldens the Iran regime. A year later, I feel the 
same way.
