A BILL
To withhold voluntary proportional assistance for programs

relating to the development and completion of the
Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran, and for other pur-

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Iran Nuclear Prolifera-
tion Prevention Act of 1998’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Iran remains the world’s leading sponsor of
international terrorism and is on the Department of
State’s list of countries that provide support for acts
of international terrorism.
(2) Iran has repeatedly called for the destruc-
tion of Israel and Iran supports organizations, such
as Hizballah, Hamas, and the Palestine Islamic
Jihad, which are responsible for terrorist attacks
against Israel.
(3) Iranian officials have stated their intent to
complete at least 3 nuclear power plants by 2015
and are currently working to complete the Bushehr
nuclear power plant located on the Persian Gulf
coast with the help of the International Atomic En-
ergy Agency (IAEA).
(4) The United States has publicly opposed the
completion of reactors at the Bushehr nuclear power
plant because the transfer of civilian nuclear tech-
nology and training could help to advance Iran’s nu-
clear weapons program.
