enough to block disapproval resolutions. the agreement released $100 billion in frozen assets to iran in return to limits of its nuclear program. kimberly halkett in washington, d.c. spoke. when do you think we're likely to see this vote? >> well, if the white house gets its way there won't an vote. but it's really up to the members of strong ear on capitol hill. the 41 senators that you spoke about, they there might be 42 who have come out in support of this deal. but at the same time what the white house is hoping is that these senators will collectively use their power as well as some arcane legislative procedure to block a vote that would allow for the rejection of the agreement. here is the reason why the white house wants that. the white house is concerned if this measure does pass in both the senate and house of

representatives then it lands on the president's desk where he has the uncomfortable position of vetoing it, which he has promised to do. there is fear if this does happen there is a message rejecting the agreement build it could undermine the agreement and it's viability long term. the white house is concerned about its appearances and as a result today josh earnest was strongly encouraging the 41 senators, possibly 42 to use their collective might and clout to make sure that that vote does not happen. >> we expect those members of congress, who support the agreement to take the necessary steps in congress to prevent congress from undermining the agreement. >> all right, so given that a vote is expected later in the week just how intense is the lobbying of those congress americans who are still undecided? >> extremely intense. in fact, we expect if it has not

already happened there is a small rally taking place outside of the u.s. congress right how where they're organized by the democrats in an effort to continue to lobby for support. the lobbying is happening on both sides. in fact, there have been interest groups that have spent millions trying to persuade members for and against. we have dick cheney speaking at a right-wing think tank using fear tack i cans that this is this going to affect israel and the united states because it creates a pathway towards iran getting a nuclear weapon. those arguments are not completely resonating with the american public. poll numbers show that half are listening to the arguments of the white house. this may not be the perfect agreement but many americans see this as the best option. >> thank you. in the u.s. baltimore officials
