Strong handle. I want to ask secretary lew and secretary kerry about the consequences of Congress Voting down this deal. I heard senator rischs frustration the frustration made by the administration theres no choice. In fact, i hear you to say the very opposite. I hear to you say this is not, in fact, a referendum on this deal. This is a choice between two set of consequences. A set of consequences that flow forward if we approve the deal and then a different set of consequences that flow forwar...

Effective inspections and i hope our witnesses will deal with that today because that is a matter of major concern. We need to know the answer to that. Have we cut off all pathways for iran to obtain a Nuclear Weapon particularly the Covert Military use operations . We know that is a major concern. That is why the pmd is particularly important, the chairman mentioned the pmd and the work that iaei, our International Inspectors. They have great credibility in this area. But we want to know whethe...

Sanctuary cities act, and i reserve the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from virginia reserves. The gentleman from michigan is recognized. Mr. Conyers madam speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans recognized. Mr. Conyers members of the congress, i rise in strong opposition to h. R. 3009, the enforce the law for sanctuary cities act. This thoroughly flawed measure is a blatant attempt by the most of the majority to inser...

A snap back without the sanctions in place . It would be very powerful with or without it. The embargo. Youre right. I can read you. No, no. Wet, have separate resolutions and we have separate regimes that applyth to them, for instance is a very powerful instrument. With United Nations language, do you believe israel is safer eight years with the embargo lifted than it is today . Theres no question in my mind. With the ability to put all other siendz of sanctions in place, u. N. Resolutions appl...

Behavior, by holding out the prospect of relief if the worlds concerns were addressed. Once the iaea verifies that iran has taken key steps to rollback its Nuclear Program and extend its breakout time to at least one year, sanctions relief would come into effect. There is no signing bonus. To be clear, there will be no immediate changes to you in, eu, or u. S. Sanctions. Only if iran fulfills the necessary nuclear conditions will be u. N. Suspend secondary sanctions on a limited basis. Of course...

That is part of what this vote would be. We dont trust that, it was no way iran could come under it. The consequences of this are even more than what you laid out. Here is what else happens but better on politics long enough, i have a pretty good sense a lot of people were opposing this before it was announced before they read it. If this does not meet congresses approval, and iran goes back to enriching, you can hear the cry now. What are we going to do about it . You hear the Prime Minister of...

Appropriate review for congress. It allows us to take action, or we dont have to take action. It recognizes the fact that the sanction regime was passed by congress and that we have a role to play in regards to implementing any agreement as we now see in the jcpoa, that congress has a role to play. So its set up an orderly process. And this hearing is part of that process. It took you two years to negotiate this agreement. It took you two months in vienna to get to the final details. Were on day...

Of broadcasteakout time. Breakout time in arms control is the time it takes to get a weapon. We have been dealing only with the amount of time it takes to get enough fissile material to produce one weapon. You still have to produce the weapon and most people dont guesstimate that a country is going to be satisfied with only one weapon and enough fissile material for one. Theres a lot of time beyond that. Weve been operating with a huge safety cushion here, and well have one year of broadcasteako...

Action against iran particularly in light of additional resources, can we do that and can Congress Work with the administration to strengthen those tools without violating the jcpla . I want to know how the administration is updating its Regional Strategies against the various iranian activities and how we are going to work with our partners to build up their capacities to counter iran especially israel. The chairman mentioned the lifting of the International Arms embargo. That is a great concer...

Nuclear related sanctions as the grounds to cease performing. But they are clear, and we are clear, that we have all other kinds of authorities. And let me be specific on that because it is important for this whole debate to be clear. Even with the lifting of sanctions after eight years of missiles or five years or the u. N. Sanctions, it is only the u. N. Sanctions. We still have sanctions. Our primary embargo is still in place. And, i might add, for those things that we want to deal with in te...
