secretary of defense under president clinton from 1997 to 2001 and is now chairman and ceo of the cowen group. welcome back to "bottom line." last week, the chair of the senate foreign relations committee said he is within a few both of being able to override that threatened presidential veto. does today's compromise make an overall -- make it overall more or less likely? >> it depends on what the agreement is. frankly it looks as if there is something in the works to make it bipartisan. even so if they were to pass it today and it appears they will with the next two days the question becomes should be brought to the floor for a vote prior to the time that this agreement is worked out in detail? that would be a mistake if they bring it to the floor. it's open to amendment, it could be 50 amendments. any number of changes made that would jeopardize it. hold the fire. congress has an important role to play but don't jeopardize the agreement before there is an agreement. it's important that they hold back and not seek to enter post congress at a time -- mark: does congress have the authori

for a closer look, let's bring in the founder of the cowen group, -- cohen group william cohen.kely be something connected to the union toss. at some point, they cannot say when. does that suggest anything to you? william: it could be they are calling them off for the time being. there are two things involved in terms of the negotiating strategy with iran. the optics and the substance. in terms of the substance it seems to me we have taken a full year of negotiating all kinds of details. then we come back to the central issues involved. number one, you have centrifuges used to enrich uranium to a 20% level, well above anything used for civilian purposes. number two, they want sanctions lifted off at the beginning. they want to frontload the lifting of sanctions. it seems to me these are the two central issues. if we cannot negotiate those to our satisfaction, we ought to get up and walk away as the french are apparently willing to do. now the optics. if it appears the united states is the one responsible for walking away rather than the uranian's, it will be difficult to hold al

"outfront" now, pow cowen and mark. you heard mr. wood defending his client, saying he was not tooold and he was qualified to be on the streets carrying the weapon. what's your reaction? >> that is not surprising as his attorney, but a bizarre explanation. at best, you can make a case that a 73-year-old man has the ability to have an oxauxiliary role with the police but he typically does things like chalk out body outlines or put tape up or act as a scribe. they don't get this close to the action. most people retire in their 50s. this is absurd, no defense for this. the fact he donates to the sheriff's fund isn't a problem per se but it suggests this is somebody who is wealthy and took advantage of it. maybe good intention, but terrible detriment. >> let me get to the point about the wealth. his attorneys trying to say no, that had nothing to do with it. he was trying to make the difference. that may be the case but he donated multiple vehicles cameras guns video equipment. he was the chair of the sheriff's re-election campaign and g
