                           SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL

  (Mrs. WALORSKI asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge my colleagues to 
pass additional bipartisan Iran sanctions legislation. While we are all 
hoping the diplomatic efforts to address Iran's nuclear program are 
successful, Congress must not neglect its responsibility to be prepared 
for all outcomes.
  Changes to Iran's nuclear programs have been minimal thus far, and 
Iran continues to assert that it will not dismantle its nuclear 
facilities. In fact, Iran's Supreme Leader himself has predicted that 
diplomatic talks ``will lead nowhere.''
  Iranian state television continues to air documentaries showing 
simulated attacks on Israel and on American forces as well. Passage of 
additional sanctions will demonstrate to the Iranian regime that the 
American people will not be swayed by empty rhetoric or a disingenuous 
commitment to peace.
  Congress must stand together and reinforce our diplomatic quest for 
disarmament with the legislative tools necessary to support this goal.
