Rep. Graves on Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act

From the Office of U.S. Rep. Tom Graves, who represents Paulding County

Washington, D.C. – Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA-14) released the following statement after the House passed the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 (H.R. 1191), legislation mandating congressional review of any nuclear agreement reached by the Obama administration with Iran:

“A nuclear Iran is unacceptable, and that’s why this bill is so important. Without this legislation, Congress would have no say in the Obama administration’s agreement with Iran, leaving the administration to make whatever deal it wants. This bill, however, gives Congress the ability to conduct oversight on behalf of the American people, and to vote to approve or disapprove of the administration’s deal before it takes effect. I will not support any plan that provides a path to a nuclear Iran.”

H.R. 1191 passed the House by a bipartisan vote of 400 to 25. The Senate passed the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act last week by a bipartisan vote of 98 to 1.
