                           RULE FOR IRAN 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. Mr. Speaker, the Iranian nuclear deal unacceptably 
lifts certain sanctions on individuals like:
  Qasem Soleimani--in the middle--the current commander of Iran's Quds 
Force, who was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American 
servicemen and -women in Iraq and that is right now leading Iran's 
efforts against the U.S.'s interests in the Middle East;
  Ahmad Vahidi, the former Quds Force commander and defense minister, 
who is still wanted by Interpol for his role in the 1994 AMIA Jewish 
community center bombing in Buenos Aires, which claimed the lives of 85 
people;
  The former head of Iran's atomic energy agency who was sanctioned by 
the U.N. for his nuclear and ballistic missile activities;
  Gerhard Wisser--right here--the German engineer who facilitated the 
sale of nuclear equipment to North Korea, Iran, and Libya;
  Also, the former head of Iran's nuclear weapons program, who has been 
described as Iran's Dr. AQ Khan.
  Mr. Speaker, this is just a brief sample of the many people who will 
have additional resources, access, and freedom to continue their terror 
and nuclear weapons activity as part of this unacceptable program. We 
can and must get a better nuclear deal.
