                      NUCLEAR AGREEMENT WITH IRAN

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, yesterday, Committee on 
Foreign Affairs Chairman Ed Royce, with Ranking Member Eliot Engel, 
conducted an informative hearing on the implications of the nuclear 
agreement with Iran.
  The witnesses who provided enlightening testimony were the Honorable 
Stephen Rademaker, Dr. Michael Doran, Dr. Michael Makovsky, and Dr. 
Kenneth Pollack. Their varying opinions confirm my concerns, as 
expressed in a July 6 editorial from The Washington Post:
  ``If it is reached in the coming days, a nuclear deal with Iran will 
be, at best, an unsatisfying and risky compromise. Iran's emergence as 
a threshold nuclear power, with the ability to produce a weapon 
quickly, will not be prevented; it will be postponed by 10 to 15 years. 
In exchange, Tehran will reap hundreds of billions of dollars in 
sanctions relief it can use to revive its

economy and fund the wars it is waging around the Middle East.''
  The President needs to change course and recognize that moral 
relativism is dangerous with opponents who promote ``Death to America, 
Death to Israel.'' The President can avoid a legacy of fanatics with 
nuclear warheads on ICBMs targeting American families.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and the President, by his 
actions, must never forget September the 11th in the global war on 
terrorism.
