                     NUCLEAR NEGOTIATIONS WITH IRAN

  (Mr. DOLD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DOLD. Mr. Speaker, it seems like every day there is a startling 
headline about a new concession to Iran in the nuclear negotiations. We 
are undeniably cascading further and further from where these talks 
started just 19 months ago.
  With the latest deadline for the deal only 5 days away, I fear and 
expect that even more damaging concessions to the Iranians are on the 
way. It doesn't need to be this way. We don't have to accept it, and we 
must make sure that our voices continue to be heard by the 
administration on this historic issue.
  We know that upon reaching a deal--any deal--there will be a full on 
PR blitz to try to sell this agreement. When that happens, we must 
stand strong and avoid the temptation to simply go along with the 
``thrill of the deal.''
  Instead of getting swept up in the momentum, we must not flinch from 
the simple, foundational idea that we have dedicated ourselves to all 
along, preventing Iran from having any path to a nuclear weapon. We can 
do it if we stick together.
