>> my guess is they're going to try to suggest, create a degree of cooperation with the iaea which follows up on the promise of transparency. i think they have been for a long time interested in selling 20% enrichment, and to some extent prime minister netanyahu will remiss in emphasizing 20% when the problem has always been enrichment at 3.5%, and that is taking place at industrial scale in the towns. i wrong in seven trying to sell the 20% for a long time, so i suspect they might table something about 20% exchange for sanctions relief, such as that may not directly involve the united states congress such as swiss accounts and so and so forth for some aspects of the european commerce. so you kind of come out of that meeting by suggesting some agreements have been made that deal at least with the outer perimeters of the nuclear issue. that would be on, my guess would be on the upscale of what they could offer. >> so back to what senator menendez was asking a minute ago, or talking about, the coalition. i guess one of the important elements, and i know two of you are taking a slightly more

because there are iaea inspectors there every week. so if they do it, we'll find out. if they do it, and this is what they said to me, if they go down that path, they know that other folks in the region that hate them. the saudis hate them. others hate them they will get countries that will go for their own nuclear bomb. the question is can we come up with a deal where we -- they are not going to go for the bomb, but that we can have confidence because of better inspection that they are not doing that. that's what this talk -- these talks in geneva are about and they are crucial. antonio, not in decades have we had an opportunity to like this. this is huge. it puts a lot of pressure the players. the players are already under pressure. for iran to deliver, for the u.s. to deliver. but this is a big deal right now. i mean, you know, i know we are focused on d.c. and the shutdown and the deal there, but this -- these next couple of days are critical to the u.s.-iran relationship and what happens in the ring. >> unon many different levels let's hope they can come up with a

iranians to re-implement the additional protocol so that the international inspectors associated with the iaea cannot only visit the cleared the soul of these, but can visit other suspected facilities in iran to ensure that they are in compliance with the agreement and not taking a secret path toward the bomb, which we know from their past activities there is a risk that they might engage in. it is really important for transparency to be high. last point i would make is iranians are sometime in the next year or so they made be bringing online the heavywater plutonium reactor, which is at arak. not the place we invaded. the heavywater reactor in arak. once that reactor becomes life, they will create enough plutonium for a bomb in a year or two. they would have to reprocess that plutonium, and they do not have that facility, but the international community is concerned about that reactor coming online. part of an acceptable deal would have to find a way to either halt construction on that reactor or convert it to a light water reactor and make other modifications that would make it very difficul

speaker, we know united nations resolutionings -- resolution, iaea declarations and diplomatic efforts, including 10 rounds of negotiations toward this regime, have borne absolutely no fruit at all. decades have passed without a single concession from this, the world's leading sponsor of terror. in 2005 we saw north korea, another rogue nation, petition for, quote, talks about ending their nuclear weapons program. and demanding u.s. concessions. how did they hold up their end of that bargain? they conducted three flagrant nuclear weapons tests. this in spite of the fact that north korea has been sanctioned in terms of economic sanctions into the virtual starvation of their people for now a half century. mr. speaker, iran is closer than ever before and racing toward a full nuclear weapons capability. the iranian government's intentions, actions and capacity to develop nuclear weapons capability and sponsor international terrorism are terrifyingly clear. the time to regain our credibility with both our you a lies and foes alike in this region is now. -- our allies and foes alike in this
