                           IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL

  (Mr. FARENTHOLD asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FARENTHOLD. Mr. Speaker, when I got on the plane to return from 
Texas yesterday, I felt like it was a done deal--the Iran deal was 
going to happen.
  But guess what. Conservatives in the House came together with a 
better idea, fueled by hundreds of folks out on the lawn when Senator 
Ted Cruz was speaking.
  We have come up with a solution that will at least possibly stop Iran 
from developing a nuclear weapon. It is the bill we have got coming up, 
which points out that the President has not met his requirement.
  The entire deal, together with the side agreements, puts the 
President and the banks and businesses that are doing business with 
Iran--and who might start to do that--on notice that they are 
potentially civilly and criminally liable. We are going to use the 
judicial branch of the government to help keep America safe.
  As I read on one of the signs on the lawn yesterday: What part of 
``death to America'' do you not understand?
  The Iran deal is a bad deal, and it needs to be stopped, and we are 
fighting here in the House of Representatives to do that.
