Will continue to do that, and to make sure that in the second incident that were using their input. Well, i think its absolutely crucial. Mr. Chairman, i would like to really thank you also for having the ig at the table, when i chaired the committee, it was my habit or really my administrative procedure that all of my subcommittees either had an ig come in what was the hotspots for agencies or at least submit written testimony, the fact that youre utilizing that is really crucial. Well have a lot to talk about this afternoon. Thank you so much for your service.

Iran nuclear deal. President obama held a press conference to answer questions about the idea and rejected to idea it leaves tehran on the brink of the bomb and argued the other opportunity is war. He addressed israels concerns after Benjamin Netanyahu called it a mistake. Here are a couple minutes of the remarks israel has legitimate concerns about its security relative to iran. You have a large country with a significant military concerns are missiles pointed toward tel aviv. So i think they are very good reasons why israelis are nervous about irans position in the world generally. I said this to the Prime Minister and directly to the israeli people. I also said they are compounded if iran gets a Nuclear Weapon. For the objections or for the Republican Leadership that is already spoken none of them have presented to me or the American People a better alternative. I am hearing talk of this is a historically bad deal and threaten israeli and the world and threaten the united states. I
Regulation is 1. 9 trillion to 1. 9 trillion. These businesses pass on the cost of these regulations in the price of there products. Families are spending about 15,000 a year for businesses to comply with government regulation. I am sure that we can agree mr. Chair, the businesses need to be fairly regulated. But when those regulations are killing jobs that is just not right. Several years ago in aa highly partisan vote with very little republican support for 2300 page. Dot frank bill was passed and since then theyre have been mountains and mountains of regulations and rules designed to smother our Financial Services industry. One part of dodd frank is a great concern of mine the too big to fail regulation. Now, when f soc is trying to determine what bank and other nonfinancial institution should be designated too big to fail it means that the taxpayers we will have to step in and bail them out. We all no theyre is a huge difference. They handle their retirement the Retirement Savings
Continued the calls for the destruction of israel. These are the people we just allowed, are all lowg in the process to more weapons and to become nuclear weaponscapable. Just last week iran called, as it has for decades for the destruction of israel. And the death to america. In fact, as irans Supreme Leader stood by calling for the need to fight the u. S. , even if there is an agreement. I dont know that weve ever entered into an agreement with another country before that while we enter into the agreement they say and by the way, no matter whether there is agreement or not we want to continue to see the u. S. As an enemy that we need to fight. This deal undermines the security of our friends and allies it legitimatizes irans unapologetic sponsorship of terrorism throughout the middle east. Interesting what could be included, by the way mr. President , what couldnt be included. Iran has repeatedly refused to abide by International Agreements that require inspection of Nuclear Faciliti
