mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

3 

HR 1400 RFS

1 (1) The prospect of the Islamic Republic of 

2 Iran achieving nuclear arms represents a grave 

3 threat to the United States and its allies in the Mid4 dle East, Europe, and globally. 

5 (2) The nature of this threat is manifold, rang6 ing from the vastly enhanced political influence ex7 tremist Iran would wield in its region, including the 

8 ability to intimidate its neighbors, to, at its most 

9 nightmarish, the prospect that Iran would attack its 

10 neighbors and others with nuclear arms. This con11 cern is illustrated by the statement of Hashemi 

12 Rafsanjani, former president of Iran and currently a 

13 prominent member of two of Iran’s most important 

14 decisionmaking bodies, of December 14, 2001, when 

15 he said that it ‘‘is not irrational to contemplate’’ the 

16 use of nuclear weapons. 

17 (3) The theological nature of the Iranian re18 gime creates a special urgency in addressing Iran’s 

19 efforts to acquire nuclear weapons. 

20 (4) Iranian regime leaders have persistently de21 nied Israel’s right to exist. Current President 

22 Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called for Israel to be 

23 ‘‘wiped off the map’’ and the Government of Iran 

24 has displayed inflammatory symbols that express 

25 similar intent. 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

4 

HR 1400 RFS

1 (5) The nature of the Iranian threat makes it 

2 critical that the United States and its allies do ev3 erything possible—diplomatically, politically, and 

4 economically—to prevent Iran from acquiring nu5 clear-arms capability and persuade the Iranian re6 gime to halt its quest for nuclear arms. 

7 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the 

8 Congress that— 

9 (1) Iranian President Ahmadinejad’s persistent 

10 denials of the Holocaust and his repeated assertions 

11 that Israel should be ‘‘wiped off the map’’ may con12 stitute a violation of the Convention on the Preven13 tion and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide and 

14 should be brought before an appropriate inter15 national tribunal for the purpose of declaring Iran 

16 in breach of the Genocide Convention; 

17 (2) the United States should increase use of its 

18 important role in the international financial sector to 

19 isolate Iran; 

20 (3) Iran should be barred from entering the 

21 World Trade Organization (WTO) until all issues re22 lated to its nuclear program are resolved; 

23 (4) all future free trade agreements entered 

24 into by the United States should be conditioned on 

25 the requirement that the parties to such agreements 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

5 

HR 1400 RFS

1 pledge not to invest and not to allow companies 

2 based in its territory or controlled by its citizens to 

3 invest in Iran’s energy sector or otherwise to make 

4 significant investment in Iran; 

5 (5) United Nations Security Council Resolu6 tions 1737 (December 23, 2006) and 1747 (March 

7 24, 2007), which were passed unanimously and man8 date an immediate and unconditional suspension of 

9 Iran’s nuclear enrichment program, represent a crit10 ical gain in the worldwide campaign to prevent 

11 Iran’s acquisition of nuclear arms and should be 

12 fully respected by all nations; 

13 (6) the United Nations Security Council should 

14 take further measures beyond Resolutions 1737 and 

15 1747 to tighten sanctions on Iran, including pre16 venting new investment in Iran’s energy sector, as 

17 long as Iran fails to comply with the international 

18 community’s demand to halt its nuclear enrichment 

19 campaign; 

20 (7) the United States should encourage foreign 

21 governments to direct state-owned entities to cease 

22 all investment in Iran’s energy sector and all exports 

23 of refined petroleum products to Iran and to per24 suade, and, where possible, require private entities 

25 based in their territories to cease all investment in 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

6 

HR 1400 RFS

1 Iran’s energy sector and all exports of refined petro2 leum products to Iran; 

3 (8) moderate Arab states have a vital and per4 haps existential interest in preventing Iran from ac5 quiring nuclear arms, and therefore such states, par6 ticularly those with large oil deposits, should use 

7 their economic leverage to dissuade other nations, 

8 including the Russian Federation and the People’s 

9 Republic of China, from assisting Iran’s nuclear pro10 gram directly or indirectly and to persuade other na11 tions, including Russia and China, to be more forth12 coming in supporting United Nations Security Coun13 cil efforts to halt Iran’s nuclear program; 

14 (9) the United States should take all possible 

15 measures to discourage and, if possible, prevent for16 eign banks from providing export credits to foreign 

17 entities seeking to invest in the Iranian energy sec18 tor; 

19 (10) the United States should oppose any fur20 ther activity by the International Bank for Recon21 struction and Development with respect to Iran, or 

22 the adoption of a new Country Assistance Strategy 

23 for Iran, including by seeking the cooperation of 

24 other countries; 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

7 

HR 1400 RFS

1 (11) the United States should extend its pro2 gram of discouraging foreign banks from accepting 

3 Iranian state banks as clients; 

4 (12) the United States should prohibit all Ira5 nian state banks from using the United States bank6 ing system; 

7 (13) State and local government pension plans 

8 should divest themselves of all non-United States 

9 companies investing more than $20,000,000 in 

10 Iran’s energy sector; 

11 (14) the United States should designate the 

12 Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, which 

13 purveys terrorism throughout the Middle East and 

14 plays an important role in the Iranian economy, as 

15 a foreign terrorist organization under section 219 of 

16 the Immigration and Nationality Act, place the Ira17 nian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps on the list 

18 of specially designated global terrorists, and place 

19 the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps on 

20 the list of weapons of mass destruction proliferators 

21 and their supporters; 

22 (15) United States concerns regarding Iran are 

23 strictly the result of actions of the Government of 

24 Iran; and 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

8 

HR 1400 RFS

1 (16) the American people have feelings of 

2 friendship for the Iranian people, regret that devel3 opments of recent decades have created impediments 

4 to that friendship, and hold the Iranian people, their 

5 culture, and their ancient and rich history in the 

6 highest esteem. 

7 TITLE I—SUPPORT FOR DIPLO8 MATIC EFFORTS RELATING 

9 TO PREVENTING IRAN FROM 

10 ACQUIRING NUCLEAR WEAP11 ONS 

12 SEC. 101. SUPPORT FOR INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMATIC EF13 FORTS. 

14 It is the sense of the Congress that— 

15 (1) the United States should use diplomatic and 

16 economic means to resolve the Iranian nuclear prob17 lem; 

18 (2) the United States should continue to sup19 port efforts in the International Atomic Energy 

20 Agency and the United Nations Security Council to 

21 bring about an end to Iran’s uranium enrichment 

22 program and its nuclear weapons program; and 

23 (3)(A) United Nations Security Council Resolu24 tion 1737 was a useful first step toward pressing 

25 Iran to end its nuclear weapons program; and 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with BILLS

9 

HR 1400 RFS

1 (B) in light of Iran’s continued defiance of the 

2 international community, the United Nations Secu3 rity Council should adopt additional measures 

4 against Iran, including measures to prohibit invest5 ments in Iran’s energy sector.
