By Rep. David E. Price - On Dec. 8, 1987, President Ronald Reagan stood next to Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev at the White House and delivered one of the most memorable phrases of his presidency. Quoting an old Russian proverb, he said that the aim of the arms reduction treaty being signed that day was to: "trust, but verify." As the world reacts to the interim nuclear agreement negotiated last month between Iran and the "P5+1" powers, Reagan's adage is instructive for its context.

Washington, D.C. – Representative David Price (D-NC) issued the following statement today on the agreement, reached over the weekend between Iran and the "P5+1" powers, including the United States. The deal requires Iran to halt progress on suspend or roll back key elements of its nuclear program, including halting enrichment above a certain level and reducing highly-enriched uranium stockpiles, and to provide for increased access to Iran's nuclear facilities by international monitors. Earlier this year, Rep. Price coauthored a bipartisan letter signed by over 130 House members urging the President to reinvigorate diplomatic efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon in the wake of the country's presidential election.
Washington, D.C. – Today, Representative David Price (D-NC) linked a Republican House committee hearing in Gastonia, North Carolina to the party's efforts to sabotage and repeal the Affordable Care Act.

A statement from Rep. Price is below.
Washington, D.C. – Today, after voting against all three energy bills Republicans brought to the House floor this week, Representative David Price (D-NC) expressed his disappointment that Republican leaders are choosing to debate "message" bills instead of focusing on priorities that affect all North Carolinians. The Republican bills considered by the House this week would put oil and natural gas drilling and pipeline activities in the fast lane, and would bar any federal oversight of fracking on public lands.
