                INTERNATIONAL STRENGTH ON IRANIAN REGIME

  (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, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the 
controlled President of Iran, continues to deny the horrors of the 
Holocaust and encourage the elimination of Israel. As his message of 
hatred and fanaticism grows louder each day, the seriousness of his 
nuclear ambitions has become increasingly obvious.
  Last week, the IAEA Board of Governors, including our allies, India, 
Canada and Australia, voted overwhelmingly to report Iran to the U.N. 
Security Council. Although the Bush Administration built a case for 
international unity, Iran's President persists in his quest for nuclear 
weapons. The U.N. must act quickly and strongly to hold Iran 
accountable for violating the nuclear nonproliferation treaty.
  During the Cold War, Ronald Reagan advocated peace through strength. 
As the Iranian regime continues to undermine peace and stability, 
leaders of free nations must work together to seriously address this 
grave threat. While the Iranian president, chosen by a fixed system, 
continues to pursue his agenda of terror, the Iranian people deserve a 
brighter future of economic expansion, not a warmongering leader.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11.
