                           IRAN NEGOTIATIONS

  (Mr. LOWENTHAL asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LOWENTHAL. Mr. Speaker, the goal of the ongoing P5+1 negotiations 
is to guarantee that Iran never develops a nuclear weapon.
  As Congress assesses the final deal, I am going to draw upon a recent 
publication which is entitled, ``Negotiations with Iran: Five 
Requirements for a Good Deal,'' which details the following five 
components: one, mechanisms supporting strong verification, including 
anytime, anywhere inspections of all Iranian nuclear and military 
facilities; two, Iranian compliance with all U.N. resolutions and full 
disclosure of its previous work toward nuclear weapons; three, a 
schedule which lifts sanctions only as Iran meets the agreement's 
obligations; four, must include measures to prevent Iran from becoming 
a nuclear threshold state; and, lastly, requirements that Iran 
dismantle its nuclear weapon infrastructure and relinquish its 
fissionable weapons material stockpile.
