                         NUCLEAR DEAL WITH IRAN

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, by all accounts, President 
Obama seems hell-bent on striking a nuclear deal with Iran, a deal that 
would hurt our national security interests and sell out our proven ally 
and friend, Israel.
  Let's be clear: Iran is a foe, not a friend. Just consider: last 
week, Iran's supreme leader said ``death to America''; the regime has 
blood of American soldiers on its hands; and Iran is working overtime 
to expand influence in the region.
  Mr. Speaker, Iran is determined to be a nuclear power, period. 
Unfortunately, the President seems intent to ignore the majority of 
American people who believe this deal would not prevent Iran from 
gaining a nuclear weapon.
  Mr. Speaker, the President is going rogue. That is wrong. He needs to 
stop. Nothing less than our national security is at stake.
