This legislation is only the latest misguided and politicized effort by the majority to undermine the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, a historic agreement negotiated by the world’s major powers in order to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
Good morning, and thank you all for being here today! I particularly want to thank Dr. Holden and RTI International, our guests from the research community, and my staff, Nora Blalock, Asher Hildebrand, and Lawrence Kluttz, for convening this timely discussion of an important topic on very short notice.
Congressman David E. Price (NC-04), Ranking Member of the House Transportation, Housing and Urban Development (T-HUD) Appropriations Subcommittee, gave the following testimony during this morning’s Rules Committee hearing on biennial budgeting.
It was with great sadness that Lisa and I received word last Tuesday of the death of former Representative Tim Valentine. We extend our condolences and good wishes to his wife Barbara and their family and will be joining them on November 14 for the funeral services in Rocky Mount.
Good morning Chairman Enzi, Ranking Member Sanders, and other Members of the Committee. Thank you for inviting me to testify today.
