(5) In an April 1997 hearing before the Sub-
committee on Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs
of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Sen-
ate, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency
stated that through the operation of the nuclear
power reactor at the Bushehr nuclear power plant,
Iran will develop substantial expertise relevant to the
development of nuclear weapons.
(6) Construction of the Bushehr nuclear power
plant was halted following the 1979 revolution in
Iran because the former West Germany refused to
assist in the completion the plant due to concerns
that completion of the plant could provide Iran with
expertise and technology which could advance Iran’s
nuclear weapons program.
(7) Iran is building up its offensive military ca-
pacity in other areas as evidenced by its recent test-
ing of engines for ballistic missiles capable of carry-
ing 2,200 pound warheads more than 800 miles,
within range of strategic targets in Israel.
(8) 
In 
January 
1995 
Iran 
signed 
a
$780,000,000 contract with the Russian Federation
for Atomic Energy (MINATOM) to complete two
VVER–1000 pressurized-light water reactors at the
Bushehr nuclear power plant and possibly to provide
2 modern VVER–440 units.
(9) In March of 1998, Russia confirmed its in-
tention to complete work on the two reactors at the
Bushehr nuclear power plant and agreed in principle
to the construction of 2 more reactors at the
Bushehr site.
(10) At least 1 reactor could be operational by
the year 2000 and it would subsequently provide
Iran with substantial expertise to advance its nu-
clear weapons program.
(11) Iran ranks 19th among the 120 nations
receiving assistance from the technical cooperation
program of the International Atomic Energy Agen-
cy.
(12) Between 1995 and 1999, the International
Atomic Energy Agency has provided and is expected
to provide a total of $1,300,000 through its tech-
nical cooperation program for the development and
completion of reactors at the Bushehr nuclear power
plant.
(13) The United States provides annual con-
tributions to the International Atomic Energy Agen-
cy which total more than 25 percent of the annual
budget of the Agency and the United States also
provides annual voluntary contributions to the Tech-
nical Cooperation Program of the Agency which
total approximately 32 percent ($16,000,000 in
1996) of the annual budget of the program.
(14) The United States should not voluntarily
provide funding for the completion of nuclear power
reactors which could provide Iran with substantial
expertise to advance its nuclear weapons program
and potentially pose a threat to the United States or
its allies.
(15) Iran has no need for nuclear energy be-
cause of its immense oil and natural gas reserves
which are equivalent to 9.3 percent of the world’s re-
serves and Iran has 73,000,000,000 cubic feet of
natural gas, an amount second only to the natural
gas reserves of Russia.

(1) describes the total amount of annual assist-
ance to Iran from the International Atomic Energy
Agency, a list of Iranian officials in leadership posi-
tions at the Agency, the expected timeframe for the
completion of the nuclear power reactors at the
Bushehr nuclear power plant, and a summary of the
nuclear materials and technology transferred to Iran
from the Agency in the preceding year which could
assist in the development of Iran’s nuclear weapons
program; and
(2) contains a description of all programs and
projects of the International Atomic Energy Agency
in each country described in section 307(a) of the
