Projections and also hear it from the private sector. The belief is, having come from the private sector and actually having come from a company that is known for its negotiating on price, walmart, the idea that we use Market Mechanisms to try and put downward pressure on price is something we think is important. Thats why weve asked for those authorities, so that we can try and work with the pharmaceuticals and negotiate to keep downward pressure on that price. Thats what we hope we can do. We see it as part of the overall issues that we are being asked about how we transform the system for the long term. We believe there are things we need to do and pressure we need to future. What do you see as some of the key problems that you are going to be having as you try and move forward with this . I think with regard to this particular issue its not one you know, it is a elect lative and a statutory issue. It will take a statutory change to grant the authorities to be able to negotiate. Tha
Options off the table except the economy of iran will be fortified, theyll be able to withstand sanctions in an enhanced way, and that the ability to reassemble this International Coalition will be very difficult as the countries will be doing business and reengageing with iran. Do you agree with that assessment . Or do you conclude that thats a that some have suggested . Third, you concluded mr. Secretary this agreement makes our world, our allies, including israel, and the region safer. I have no doubt you have concluded that is correct based on your best assessment. If you would just provide for us kind of some thinking of why it is that the current israeli leadership does not see it that way. You know, as they obviously have sort of come to a different conclusion. Why do you think that is . Four, after 15 years, iran most have suggested, is a Nuclear Threshold state. But that they must negotiate comprehensive safeguards again with the iaea. And whether or not i know theres been som
Pardon me . My hard pains for congressman, what you need to think about is our security. We are better off with iran not having a Nuclear Weapon. No question. Our primary objective here was to have a negotiation because they were already at 19,000 centrifuge already with enough material for 10 to 12 bomdz, already enriching at 20 and they were a step away from a plutonium react thats true could produce enough material for one to two bombs a year. How we stepped into that. I get that. And we rolled that back. You said that. How long before we knew about fordau. We discovered it. We blew the whistle. How long was it there before we discovered it. I dont know a precise amount of time. Ten years . But congressman, we discovered that and we also im sorry, you let me just say, in 2003 we discovered they were actually trying to make a bomb and we did it without inspectors, without this regime. Youve said all that. This is about the trust you keep saying were going to have. No theres no trust.
But if we can go the time has expired here and we will just get for the record. Thank you very much mr. Chairman. Last week the Los Angeles Times reported the irans foreign minister told the parliament under the deal iran can deny access to military sites and the defense minister also stated that he would not allow International Inspectors to enter irans military cites and yet president obama said the organization responsible for the inspections will have access where necessary when necessary, end quote. Can the iaea really have access to all and any military sites suspected and do they have the power to access the sites, and dismantling irans infrastructure used to be the administrations goal. The administration repeatedly told us that it would focus that sanctions only on the Nuclear Portfolio but in the deal we have over 60 pages of individuals, Companies Vessels that will be delisted, specifically mentioned. Many of these sanctions are not Nuclear Related. The administration has al
Do you believe this accurately reflect the government goals . Yes or no. I believe it accurately reflects some peoples attitudes, but i dont know if it is possible for iran to do that. I think israel has enormous capacity, obviously. I didnt ask for all that. I just ask if you have a judgment. It is not an implementable policy by iran. Less than two weeks their code weeks ago the ayatollah letter rallied it was legally consummated by chance of death to america and death to israel. Do you believe that was frequently punctuated by chance chants of death to america. I see no evidence that they have a policy that is able to think that against us. Iran is the worlds foremost sponsor of terrorism, do you believe that . Yes. And they will use the weapons made available to kill americans and israelis . They may, and we have as you note as you know responded to that since 1979. We have put sanctions in place specifically because of their support for terror. I understand that. You answered my qu
