Senator Chris Coons says he backs the legislation that would allow congress to approve any nuclear arms deal with Iran.
The Delaware Democrat joined his colleagues on the Foreign Relations Committee yesterday to approve the measure.
Coons says that the limit of 30 days for congress to act instead of an earlier proposal of 60 days provides an appropriate structure and time period to look over any agreement.
The White House has said that the President would sign the compromise version of the legislation which got unanimous approval from the committee.
The compromise took out a provision that would have required the president to certify that Iran was not involved in terrorism against the U.S.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that MoveOn.org and other senators had urged a no vote on the legislation in its original form.
