Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued this statement after it was announced that negotiations surrounding Iran’s nuclear program will be extended until July 10th.
“While negotiations with Iran can’t continue forever, there is no push from Congress to conclude negotiations in the next few days. The only one pushing to get this done quickly - and reduce congressional scrutiny - is the Obama Administration. If the Administration negotiates a sound agreement, it should be able to withstand congressional scrutiny for 30, 60, or even 90 or 120 days. What is the rush?".
