            DENYING AN IRANIAN TERRORIST DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY

  (Mr. LAMBORN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, last week, we learned something shocking 
and appalling. The Iranian Government wants to appoint a terrorist as 
their Ambassador to the United Nations, a man who participated in the 
1979 terrorist attack on our Embassy in Tehran. This is unconscionable 
and unacceptable.
  Last week, Senator Ted Cruz and I introduced legislation to fix this 
problem. This bill gives the President the authority he needs to deny 
this individual a visa. Senator Cruz pushed the bill through the Senate 
unanimously on Monday.
  I have been working with House leadership this week to quickly move 
this bill forward here in the House so that we do not have an Iranian 
terrorist walking the streets of New York City and having diplomatic 
immunity. I am proud to report that we just passed this bill 
unanimously.
  I thank my colleagues and House leadership for passing the Cruz-
Lamborn legislation.
