  Ms. LEE. Mr. Speaker, I am extremely concerned regarding the 
proliferation of nuclear weapons around the world in general and the 
threat that Iran poses in particular. I agree that we must make it a 
priority to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear technologies and 
materials for development of nuclear weapons. That is why we must not 
impede any and all diplomatic means to achieve this. I voted present on 
H. Con. Res 345 (rollcall No. 12) because this resolution seems to 
foreclose some important diplomatic options towards achieving that 
goal.
