                           BIDEN'S 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. Mr. Speaker, appeasing Iran endangers 
America and the world, according to Matthew Continetti of the American 
Enterprise Institute, as reported in the June 17 edition of National 
Review.
  ``For President Biden is on the verge of betraying Congress and the 
American people by rewarding the Islamic Republic of Iran for various 
misdeeds.
  ``According to news reports, Biden is prepared to authorize billions 
of dollars in payments to Iran in exchange for the release of U.S. 
prisoners. . . . Biden will say this perverse arrangement is necessary 
to free innocents. . . . What he won't be able to do is call it a deal.
  ``Biden can't call the agreement a deal because he wants to avoid 
congressional review. The Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 
forbids the President from relieving nuclear-related sanctions . . . 
without congressional approval.
  ``Notice that the deal-that-is-no-deal says nothing about Iran's 
deadliest proxy, Hezbollah, or about Iran's drone traffic,'' to attack 
Israel and murder Ukrainian civilians.
  In conclusion, sadly, the insulting plea deal for Hunter Biden 
exposes the Biden crime family has shamefully corrupted the Federal 
judicial system.
