nd you know, can you tell us quickly how did the corker bill ensure that congress has the opportunity to brock -- to block this deal and why we're here is relevant to your committee fnd the other committees of jurisdiction and why we're here today at the rules committee? mr. royce: thank you, mr. chairman. i would just make the observation that congress registered its concerns very early in this process. and in a bipartisan way. because if we think back to the legislate -- legislation that i and eliot engel originally authored and tried to push in terms of the negotiation, that legislation which passed this house 400-20 and then was blocked over in the senate at the request of the administration and could not come up, that would have given the ayatollah a choice between economic collapse or real compromise on his nuclear program. and i want to get to this point. that the president offers a false choice between this agroment or war.
