                           IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL

  (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, this week, we will debate and vote 
on one of the most consequential national security and foreign policy 
issues that we have faced in quite some time--the Iran nuclear 
agreement.
  This deal allows Iran to continue to enrich uranium and to keep in 
place nearly every key aspect of its nuclear program. It also provides 
an economic lifeline to the Iranian regime, with billions of dollars in 
sanctions relief, which will fund Iran's support for terror and its 
other acts of belligerence in the region.
  This deal also lifts the arms embargo on Iran, lifts sanctions on its 
ballistic missile program, and lifts certain sanctions on the Iranian 
Revolutionary Guard Corps and its leader, like Qasem Soleimani.
  This is not a partisan or a political statement--this is the grim 
reality of the situation. This deal, as it has been presented to 
Congress and to the American people, will not prevent Iran from 
becoming a nuclear weapons state. As such, it is incumbent upon us to 
reject this weak and dangerous Iran nuclear agreement this week.
