                       IRAN NUCLEAR NEGOTIATIONS

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Madam Speaker, as we approach the November 24 Iran 
nuclear deadline, we should all be reminded that Iran is a U.S.-
designated state sponsor of terrorism. Iran continues to violate 
multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions, and the regime continues to 
advance its ballistic missile program, a program that has only one 
purpose: to launch a nuclear weapon. Iran is one of the world's worst 
human rights violators and under the so-called moderate Rouhani has 
been executing people in record numbers.
  Yet we recently found out that President Obama sent a secret letter 
to Iran's Supreme Leader last month. The Supreme Leader responded by 
releasing a plan to destroy our closest friend and ally, the democratic 
Jewish State of Israel.
  The Iranian regime cannot be trusted. Yet this administration 
continues to push for a nuclear deal that threatens our U.S. national 
security interests.
  Madam Speaker, we must not allow any deal to be finalized that we 
view is not in the interests of the United States of America.
