Kaine Statement On House Passage Of Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Tim Kaine released the following statement today after the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to pass the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act, of which Kaine is a lead cosponsor:

“I’m thrilled that overwhelming bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress have now committed to a constructive process for review of a final nuclear agreement  with Iran.  It was an honor to work with Senators Corker, Cardin, Graham, Menendez and others to arrive at a compromise that many didn’t believe was possible at the outset of negotiations. The bill being sent to the President’s desk is proof that Congress can act in a bipartisan way to assert an appropriate Congressional role on a critical matter of foreign policy. I challenge my colleagues to demonstrate the same courage by passing an Authorization for Use of Military Force against ISIL.”
