                               A BAD DEAL

  (Mr. PERRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, the President has offered Iran what he 
describes as a ``very limited, temporary, reversible sanctions 
relief.'' In this case, limited means $20 billion in sanctions relief.
  What was the world promised for the $20 billion gift to the Iranian 
regime? A promise that Iran would pause, not dismantle, its nuclear 
weapons program for 6 months while we betray our allies and compromise 
Israel's ability to defend itself.
  Let me tell you what this deal is like. It is like going to an auto 
mechanic you can't trust to fix an oil leak on your car. The mechanic 
says it will take 6 months to fix the leak and charges you $1,000 up 
front. When you come back 6 months later, you will find that not only 
is the leak not fixed, but your car was stripped down and sold for 
parts.
  As we speak, Iranian centrifuges are continuing to spin, continuing 
to enrich uranium, and continuing to threaten the safety of the United 
States and our allies.
  Whether it is at your local auto shop or at the nuclear negotiating 
table, the American people know when they are getting a bad deal.
