instead iran can delay access to facilities for up to 24 days. this is inconsistent with the obama administration's claims that no part of this agreement is based on trusting iran at its word. a credible agreement would include stronger verification measures to ensure that the iranians play by the rules, particularly given that government's well-documented efforts to conceal its nuclear activities and ambitions. we're also concerned about the consequences of lifting the economic sanctions that forced iran to the negotiating table. this agreement is an issue offing long-term -- issue of long-term significance. our country and our allies will be forced to deal with the repercussions of a strengthened iran for the foreseeable future. this agreement is a bad deal for us and our allies, and i will not support it. mr. hatch: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from utah. mr. hatch: mr. president, i've been a member of this body for nearly four decades. during that time i've had the honor to participate in numerous debates that changed the course of the future, but i think think of none more

because the day the agreement was announced the president of iran bragged about how he had gotten the obama administration to surrender on this point. that is the language i am hearing around the state of wyoming and certainly the language we are hearing from iran. the president surrendered. in the beginning the president said the iran would only need a 100 centrifuges, then 4,000, and then eventually 6,000. when it mattered the most the obama administration wanted a deal so badly they were willing to con seed on point after point. this proves if you want a deal bad enough you will get a bad deal and that is what we have here today. same thing happened with ballistic missiles. martin dempsey, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of the united states military, told the senate armed services committee quote under no circumstances should we relieve pressure on iran relative to ballistic missile capabilities. under no circumstances. defense secretary ash carter testified at the same hearing. this hearing was six days before the final deal was announced by the president. secretary of defense said we want

if you will, saying that they can't vote on this because they believe that the obama administration has negotiated with iran some secret side deals that have not been submitted to congress. until they see the contents of what they call the side deal they will not be able to vote the vote has been delayed. the debate has been delayed in the house of representatives. we should know more in three hours time back when they'll regroup. in the meantime the white house has been intensely lobbying to convince those undecided members to support this agreement. you heard secretary kerry there. he was on the hill speaking about the syrian refugees. he was speaking to members about the iran agreement. he brought with him the energy secretary, a science guy. he's got a doctorate in physics saying this is the best option for insuring that iran does not get or fire a nuclear weapon. so that's what they were sort of campaigning about, but at this moment it seems that it's a little unclear how this is going to proceed. we'll have a better sense in a few hours. >> kimberly, for the time being, thank you very much, indeed. no

house freedom caucus, supported this initiative that would prevent a vote on the iran deal until the obama administration produced the text of the so-called side deals between obama and the iran nuclear inspectors. they are arguing that lawmakers do not have enough information at their disposal. >> the headline in the story mentions conservative revolt. how do they not see disappointment on the conservative side. how did they not anticipate this coming? the reality is this kind of came out of nowhere. -- rufkin as part of the leadership team. he introduced the resolution yesterday that the moment they , itback from the recess would prevent a vote on the iran deal until the side deals were given to caucus -- congress. but they had their weekly dinner at the popular mexican restaurant and were talking decided, wend should band together and call attention to the fact that the public doesn't know everything about these side deals. roskam anduote peter he defends the last-minute effort. this is the first time were here. it's the first time i could make a privileged resolution. tell us about what they will vot

one of the first items on the agenda for the lawmakers is the obama administration's nuclear deal with iran. there is strong opposition to the deal, but the only way congress can kill the measure all together is if they reject the deal and then override a promised presidential veto. that seems unlikely now that more democratic senators have agreed to support the white house. >>> students at george washington university are back in class after a rude awakening this morning. a fire broke out on the roof of fulbright hall on the corner of 23rd and h streets northwest. delia goncalves says no one was hurt but students had to be escorted out of the building. >> reporter: things are back to normal here at fulbright hall after some tense moments this morning for these gw students. the. >> i had an 8:00 a.m. class that i slept through. >> reporter: because it was a long night or rather early morning that started with a frightening fire emergency. >> there was officers pushing us down the stairs so that was kind of scary. >> there was probably like 10, 12-foot flames coming off the roof. >> reporter
