Is the incremental additional money that theyve got to try to destabilize the region or send to their proxies, is that more important than preventing iran from getting a Nuclear Weapon . No. So i think again, this is a matter of us making a determination of what is our priority. The other problem with the argument that folks have been making about, oh, this is a windfall and suddenly iran is flushed with cash, and theyre going to take over the world. And i say that not tongueincheek, because if you look at some of the statements by some of our critics, you would think that iran is, in fact, going to take over the world as a consequence of this deal which i think would be news to the iranians. That argument is also premised on the notion that if there is no deal, if Congress Votes down this deal, that were able to keep sanctions in place with the same vigor and effectiveness as we have right now. And that, i can promise you, is not true. That is absolutely not true. I want to repeat wer

In effect, they compelled the International Community to overhaul that system and make it relevant to the threats of today. The efforts that took place, the technologies that have been applied, the authorities that have been given, all of those things have essentially been reinvented since 1990. Today, with the joint

Today, the United States with the International Partners have achieved something that decades of animosity have not. A comprehensive longterm deal with iran that will prevent it from obtaining a Nuclear Weapon. This deal demonstrates that american diplomacy can bring about real and meaningful change. Change that makes our country and the world more secure. This deal is also in line with a tradition of american leadership. It is now more than 50 years since president kennedy stood before the American People and said let us never negotiate out of fear but let us never fear to negotiate.

The process for Financing Agency activities is to get approval i should wind back again. The iaea is a member of the United Nations family of organizations. As such, it has its own membership and has its own budget and a formula for assessing members in accordance with approved budget to carry out programs. To change that requires today the approval of the 35 governors which is very difficult under any circumstance so whether all 35 would be enough or whether it forcing it to a vote is unusually not the way that the agency would operate. So i would hope that part of the American Perspective on how it can make this effort succeed is to consider a contingency grant to the agency of something on the order of 50 million which sounds like a nice round number but it is much smaller than the i have to say, i dont know exactl
