                      NUCLEAR AGREEMENT WITH IRAN

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, on an entirely different matter, I said 
yesterday the Senate would thoroughly review the White House deal with 
Iran. I said we would hold hearings and we would call witnesses and 
ultimately vote to approve or disapprove the deal in accordance with 
the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act. That is what we have long 
planned to do, and once the administration fully transmits the text, 
that is just what we will do.
  Senators are already taking a close look at what they have been able 
to get their hands on thus far, but the Senate eagerly awaits the full 
transmission of that text and the required certifications. We await the 
beginning of a comprehensive review process premised on a simple 
question: Can the agreement meet its essential test of leaving our 
country and our allies safer?
