Want to thank my good friend from california, the chairman, for yielding me the time and also want to thank my good friend from pennsylvania for bringing this piece of legislation. Supporting victims of iranian terrorism is a cause that every Single Member of this body should be able to support, regardless of where they stand on the Iranian Nuclear agreement.

Casesmber prosecuting where we looked at people who were being cycled through a system, nonviolent drug offenders facing severe mandatory minimums being deported or going back home. You could not see the utility in it. We needed to focus resources on the kingpins, the leaders and organizers of the narcotics organization.

Utter silence. Deafening silence. Perhaps you can understand why israel is not joining you in celebrating this deal. If irans rulers were working to destroy your countries, perhaps you would be less enthusiastic about the deal. If irans terror proxies were firing thousands of rockets at your cities, perhaps youd be more measured in your praise. And if this deal were unleashing a Nuclear Arms Race in your neighborhood, perhaps youd be more reluctant to celebrate. But dont think that everyone is only a danger to israel. Toa run is only a danger israel. Besides its aggression in the middle east and terror around the world, it ran is building building Ballistic Missiles whose sole purpose is to carry nuclear warheads.

The indiana legislation is close to federal legislation i keep reminding everyone signed in law by bill spadea, there was a bearp bill clinton that of bipartisan voted on in house in 90s, and. 20 states have it.
