STEVEN R.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the\nRepublic of Cyprus as it finishes out its first rotation of the\nEuropean Union Presidency. For a small country like Cyprus, this is a\nsignificant event in their history and I want to recognize one of their\nPresidency's major accomplishments.\n  I would like to thank Cyprus for successfully overseeing the\nimplementation of new European Union sanctions that were imposed on\nIran to target their nuclear and ballistic missile program. Iran\ncontinues to be a threat to the United States, Europe, and our closest\nally in the Middle East--the Jewish State of Israel. These sanctions\nwill go a long way towards ensuring further stability in the Middle\nEast and helping Israel to maintain its security. These are the\ntoughest sanctions yet to be imposed by the EU and I believe they will\nwork in concert with those imposed by the U.S. Congress. Again, I'd\nlike to congratulate the Republic of Cyprus for its oversight of this\nimplementation and overall for a successful first rotation as EU\nPresident.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2012-12-31-pt1-PgE2015-3"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.39095000829547644, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
