                           IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL

  (Mr. ALLEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak about one of the most 
important national security matters this Chamber will vote on, and that 
is the President's dangerous nuclear deal with Iran.
  We have heard a lot about this this morning. I heard a lot about it 
while I was in the district during the August work period. I traveled 
across Georgia's 12th District and spoke with my constituents about 
this terrible agreement.
  Today I come to the floor again to voice the concerns I heard from 
the overwhelming majority and to say to my colleagues in the House and 
Senate we must stop this deal.
  The consequences of the President's agreement are clear. We have 
heard it over and over. It will chart a clear path to allow Iran 
nuclear capability. In the meantime, the Iranian regime will use 
billions of dollars in sanctions relief to continue promoting 
terrorism.
  I visited Israel last month and met with the nation's leaders, 
including Prime Minister Netanyahu, and learned firsthand about the 
security threats Israel and the region face every day. We cannot allow 
this deal to move forward and further empower those who seek the 
destruction of Israel, the same leaders who shout ``death to America.''
  I reject the President's false choice between this bad deal or war.
