              PULSE OF TEXAS: THOMAS DAVIS--HOUSTON, TEXAS

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, the President has announced he has 
reached a nuclear deal with Iran. Some of my Texas constituents have 
contacted me because they are worried about this dangerous and 
irresponsible ``deal.''
  Thomas Davis of Houston wrote, ``We must not finance terrorism or in 
any way support Iran's gaining nuclear weapons.''
  Thomas is rightfully concerned. Since Iran will soon receive billions 
of dollars, they can continue to sponsor their terrorist groups 
worldwide. Also, the deal legitimizes Iran's nuclear weapon program 
development in 10 years.
  Thomas continues, ``I also urge you to disregard the U.N.'s premature 
acceptance, as they do not accept something for us or authorize 
spending of our funds. If their action does give Iran funds from an 
account we supplement, then defund that account.''
  Wise words from citizen Thomas Davis. Giving the U.N. the first say 
on the nuclear deal and not Congress was misguided. The U.N. vote of 
approval will not intimidate me into voting for this deal.
  This deal will make the world less safe, less free, and make Iran a 
world nuclear weapon power. Isn't that lovely.
  And that is just the way it is.
