Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT.

Mrs. MILLER of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of this legislation because nuclear weapons in the hands of the Iranian regime is simply unacceptable.

Iran is a state sponsor of terror.

Iranian leaders have continually denied the Holocaust while expressing the desire to commit a second Holocaust through the destruction of Israel, our most important ally in the Middle East.

To that we must say ``Never Again.''

The chant of ``Death to America'' is seemingly the official slogan of this Iranian regime.

Those who would seek to profit by helping the Iranian regime to develop nuclear weapons or to suppress the people of Iran will no longer be able to do business with the United States or have access to our nation's financial system.

These sanctions are real and they have teeth.

We must send a clear and decisive message to the Iran and the world community that America is serious in our effort to deny Iran nuclear weapons.

To accomplish that we must pass these sanctions.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT.
