BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ZELDIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this resolution.

The Congress is not on the clock, because we haven't received the
entire agreement. And for anyone out there who wants to be supportive
of this deal, let's think what the President was telling the American
public and all of us.

The House has a deal that wasn't based on trust; it is built on
verification. How do you support a deal based on verification without
knowing what the verification is?

I would be happy to yield if anyone wanted to stand up and explain
how you support a deal without knowing what the verification is. You
can't. That is why we are asking for it.

And for those who say that opposing this deal is somehow negative
towards America, I took an oath to be an officer of the United States
military, willing to fight and die in protection of our freedoms and
liberties. I love this country. I took an oath to serve here the
members of my district because I love America.

So don't tell me that somehow opposing this deal is negative toward
America. I oppose this deal because I love my country.
