“Mr. Speaker, those negotiations have the potential to lead to a peaceful resolution to the standoff over Iran’s nuclear program. If successful, these negotiations could put in place the restrictions and intrusive inspections needed to ensure that Iran’s nuclear program is used exclusively for peaceful purposes”, said Rep. Conyers.
On November 21, 2013 Rep. John Conyers of Michigan asked for and was granted permission to address the United States House of Representatives for one minute regarding diplomatic efforts with Iran.
“Members of the House, I rise to speak about the negotiations under way in Geneva today between the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany.”
“Mr. Speaker, those negotiations have the potential to lead to a peaceful resolution to the standoff over Iran’s nuclear program. If successful, these negotiations could put in place the restrictions and intrusive inspections needed to ensure that Iran’s nuclear program is used exclusively for peaceful purposes”, he said.
“With a significant diplomatic breakthrough within reach, now is not the time to consider new sanctions which could derail the negotiations and strengthen the position of those in Iran who oppose a settlement with the United States”, said Rep. Conyers (source: Congressional Record http://thomas.loc.gov).
