To those listening in east berlin, a special word. , ihough i cannot be with you address my remarks to you just as surely to those standing here before me. I join you as i join your fellow countrymen of the west in this german]lief [speaking [applause] behind me stands a wall that has circled the free sectors of this city. Part of a vast system of barriers that divide the entire continent of europe. South, those barriers cut across germany and a gash of barbed wire, concrete, guard towers. Further south, there may be no obvious wall, but there remain

Members of congress, i have t the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the president of the United States. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Please. Mr. President , mr. Speaker, members of the 104th congress, sanc my fellow americans again we are here in the sanctuary of me be democracygi and once again, our democracy has spoken. And so let me begin by congratulating all of you here in the 104th congress and congratulating you, mr. Speaker. If we agree on nothing else tonight, we must agree that the American People certainly voted for change in 1992 and in 1994. And as i look out a
Within five years. Its called operational control is the term theyre using for it and it would penalize political appointees if they dont meet those goals. Its not going to go very far. The house will pass it this week. You know the its contingent on both sides. Jay johnson, the head of the Homeland Security department has said its extreme. Unworkable. These are not goals that we can meet, so the democrats hate it. Interestedly, a lot of conservatives dont like it either. Senator Jeff Sessions saying that the mccall bill is terrible and the question mark is for boehner and the republicans is that conservative opposition going to reach a point they cant get 218 votes on the republican side to pass this thing, so immigration has always been a tough issue for republicans and boehner and its going to be a test for this week to see how well they can manage their conference going into this new congress. They have more seats, but do they have more power is the question. And thats going to be
Currently have and future sanctions, should they be ramped up, that we have the resources to actually do that. A lot of the questions i had have been answered already, so i would just say that i applaud the chairman for putting forward the proposal he has in terms of congress waiting in on an ultimate agreement.

Thank you for holding this hearing and the constructive relationship you and our Ranking Member have had. I support the administration

And it shows that the saudis gree with Prime Minister netanyahu who said that this deal doesnt prevent the iranians from getting the bomb it paves the way. So even though the saudi arabia and egypt and all the other countries in the middle east have been very wary of iran, this is going to accelerate their development of Nuclear Weaponry and it does create an arms race. Bruce, i didnt even know that south korea had a nuclear program, they do had this would be the first step in arming saudi arabia. Clearly theyre not going to use this for energy, right if.

I think that we have to remember, here, that the deal, which we dont know what the deal is with iran yet, but we do have a ion if i had front with the United States, russia, china, Great Britain and others. Our good friends the russians, right . Steve, the point
