Rand Paul: GOP letter to Iran should help Obama's negotiations

The Obama administration has harshly denounced the letter that a group of Republican senators sent to Iran's supreme leader regarding nuclear negotiations, but Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, insists the letter should actually help the administration's attempts to negotiate.

"I want the president to negotiate from a position of strength, which means that he needs to be telling them in Iran, 'I've got Congress to deal with,'" Paul said Sunday at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival in Austin, Texas.

The letter, signed by 47 GOP senators including Paul, warned that without congressional approval, any deal between President Obama and Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, could be easily reversed. "The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen," they wrote, "and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time."

In an interview Sunday on "Face the Nation," Secretary of State John Kerry told CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan that the letter contained "false information" and was "directly calculated to interfere" with negotiations that conservatives oppose.

Paul, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, insisted Sunday, "There's no one in Washington more against war and more for a negotiated deal than I am. But I want the negotiated deal to be a good deal."

Rand Paul Tech-ed Off at Obama

With a lineup full of tech executives, musicians, and celebrities, South by Southwest attracted tens of thousands of visitors to Austin, Texas this week. Panels included Googles Eric Schmidt (GOOGL), actress Jessica Alba and athlete Charles Barkley.

Republican senator and unconfirmed presidential hopeful Rand Paul also took the stage, addressing technologys emerging role in politics. Senator Paul announced this week that his team plans to open a tech-oriented office in Austin.

Paul positioned himself as a champion for privacy in technology, stating that he believes that President Obama has failed us as far as defending privacy. Paul added that he ran as someone who would protect your privacy and that many of the young people have fled this president because they were disappointed.

Paul was referring, in part, to the National Security Agency, known commonly as the NSA. The government agency garnered significant criticism in the wake of accusations made by former government contractor, Edward Snowden.

I am the only candidate who thinks the NSA program on bulk collection of your phone records should be shut down, Paul said. The senator added that he is not against the NSA, but he thinks they should obey the Bill of Rights.

Paul commented on the recent controversy surrounding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who has come under fire for using a personal email address for government communication.

Convenience shouldnt trump national security, Paul said. If shes communicating with the president, it ought to go to a secure server.

When Texas Tribune CEO and moderator Evan Smith asked if Paul ever used a personal email for his work, he responded,Were not required to do anything under a government email. The executive department is under different standards.

Paul also spoke of his decision to use Snapchat for reaching young voters.

If you dont go to a platform where they are, you will not find them, he said.
