                           IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, the nuclear deal President 
Obama has reached with Iran is dangerous and delusional. He says it 
will stop Iran from getting the bomb. Well, I would like him to tell us 
how it would do so when it puts us at the mercy of Iran.
  This deal does not provide for anytime, anywhere inspections. We 
would have to ask Iran permission, which they could deny.
  The idea that Iran will not go nuclear with this deal defies history. 
Worse yet, it will undoubtedly start a nuclear arms race in the Middle 
East. I say that as a veteran of two wars.
  This deal reflects Obama's disastrously naive foreign policy of 
appeasing our adversaries and stiffing our friends.
  We have a duty to protect American citizens from harm, and that is 
why I will be voting against this deal.
