                                  IRAN

  Mr. MORENO. Mr. President, just really quickly and with all due 
respect to my colleague from Connecticut, he wasn't part of the 
negotiation process. He has no idea what conversations were had with 
the Iranians.
  What I do know is that we are on the verge of a historic possibility 
that my kids and my grandkids will live in a world that is not 
threatened by Iran and that we won't live under the fear of an Iranian 
regime with a nuclear weapon.

  President Trump is the only President in my lifetime who had the 
courage to actually do what was needed. What this agreement will get to 
is what we should all hope for, all of us--Republicans, Democrats, and 
just anybody who is a citizen of the United States of America. We 
should be here, hopeful that we have an opportunity to get to this 
historic place.
  It is always just incredibly disappointing to me, as somebody who is 
new to politics, that everything has to be turned into a political 
game. It is not a game. People have put their lives at risk to make 
this country safer. Instead of cheerleading for failure, we should be 
cheerleading for success.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oregon.
