What is the rush? asks Foreign Affairs Chair
Washington, D.C.– U.S. Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued this statement after it was announced that negotiations surrounding Iran’ s nuclear program will be extended until July 10th:
“While negotiations with Iran can’t continue forever, there is no push from Congress to conclude negotiations in the next few days. The only one pushing to get this done quickly – and reduce congressional scrutiny – is the Obama Administration. If the Administration negotiates a sound agreement, it should be able to withstand congressional scrutiny for 30, 60, or even 90 or 120 days. What is the rush?”
