                   IRAN NUCLEAR AGREEMENT REVIEW ACT

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, yesterday the House 
passed, with overwhelming bipartisan support, H.R. 1191, the Iran 
Nuclear Agreement Review Act, which will allow Congress to review any 
deal on Iran's nuclear program negotiated by the Obama administration.
  As the world's leading sponsor of terrorism, a nuclear Iran would not 
only destabilize the Middle East, but it would have serious 
repercussions here in America and across the world for generations to 
come.
  The United States must stand with Israel, our allies, and do 
everything in our power to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear 
weapon. And this legislation allows Congress to have approval and 
oversight over any agreement by the administration.
  Mr. Speaker, President Obama should take a clear message from these 
overwhelmingly bipartisan votes in both the House and the Senate that, 
as negotiations move forward, the administration must listen to the 
American people and their representatives in Congress.
