As the Obama Administration continues its effort to convince Congress to approve its nuclear deal with Iran, both senators from New York have yet to say how they will vote on a September resolution to approve the deal.
Congress is in the midst of a 60-day review period. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand tells reporters she's still studying the agreement.
"I read the whole agreement. I studied it. I have talked to several experts. And I'm assessing the risks."
Gillibrand says she will assess whether or not it's riskier for New York, the U.S. and Israel for America to sign the agreement or not.
Sen. Charles Schumer, who is the number three Democrat in the Senate, has been lobbied by activists both for and against the deal. Schumer also is not ready to say how he will vote.
"I just got back from my second classified briefing. I am studying all of the questions very carefully since this is such an important decision that has to be made," Schumer says.
While Congress does not have the actual authority to kill the deal limiting Iran's nuclear capability, it does have to vote to end sanctions against Iran, a key part of the agreement negotiated by the White House.
