                               speech of

                      HON. MICHAEL G. FITZPATRICK

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 15, 2016

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to voice my support for 
H.R. 6297, the Iran Sanctions Extension Act.
  Despite continued pressure and condemnation from the international 
community, the Iranian regime defiantly continues its ballistic missile 
testing, human rights abuses, and sowing discord throughout the world 
as the leading state sponsor of terrorism. These threatening acts, 
coupled with continued violations of the nuclear agreement, should not 
be tolerated without check. That's why I am voicing my strong support 
for H.R. 6297, the Iran Sanctions Extension Act. This act is one of the 
most important pillars to the statutory sanctions against Iran to 
address its illicit activities. I applaud the House for coming together 
in a near unanimous fashion to pass this bipartisan legislation and 
hope the President agrees to sign it
