Senator Richard Blumenthal's office issued the following on Thursday:
(Washington, DC) – U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.)
issued the following statement after the Senate passed, by a vote of
98-1, the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015:
“This bill gives Congress an appropriate and important role in
reviewing and scrutinizing any final diplomatic agreement. The
overwhelming bipartisan vote today of 98-1 reaffirms that the
legislation avoids impeding or interfering with ongoing negotiations to
prevent a nuclear-armed Iran. I hope and believe that these negotiations
can be successful, and offer the best prospect of achieving our common
goal in preventing a nuclear armed Iran and a Middle East nuclear tinder
box.”
Blumenthal was an original co-sponsor of the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015.
