    OUR NATION MUST SHOW RESOLVE AGAINST THE IRANIAN NUCLEAR THREAT

  (Mr. CANTOR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CANTOR. Mr. Speaker, recently some Members of the House have 
proposed using the supplemental appropriations bill to restrict the 
President's ability to defend our country and its allies from a hostile 
Iran. Attempts to curtail the bargaining ability and leverage of the 
United States comes at the precise moment when our Nation must show 
strength.
  However, attempts to dampen our resolve and security send the anti-
U.S. forces in Tehran a signal that America is weak. If Iran continues 
to see that America stands determined to prevent it from going nuclear, 
it will be encouraged to become a responsible member of the 
international community.
  If we falter, the Iranian nuclear threat may well become a reality. 
Mr. Speaker, we must not let that happen.
