TITLE IX—INTERNATIONAL 
ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY 
SEC. 901. TECHNICAL COOPERATION PROGRAM. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following 
findings: 
(1) The International Atomic Energy Agency 
(IAEA) was established in 1957 with the objectives 
of seeking to ‘‘accelerate and enlarge the contribu-
tion of atomic energy to peace, health and prosperity 
throughout the world’’ and to ‘‘ensure . . . that as-
sistance provided by it or at its request or under its 
supervision or control is not used in such a way as 
to further any military purpose.’’.

(2) The United States, via assessed contribu-
tions, is the largest financial contributor to the reg-
ular budget of the IAEA. 
(3) In 1959, the IAEA established what is now 
called the Technical Cooperation Program, financed 
primarily through voluntary contributions by mem-
ber states to the Technical Cooperation Fund, to 
provide nuclear technical cooperation (TC) for 
peaceful purposes to countries worldwide. 
(4) The United States is the largest financial 
contributor to the IAEA’s Technical Cooperation 
Fund. 
(5) A March 2009 report by the Government 
Accountability Office (GAO) found that ‘‘neither 
[the Department of State] nor IAEA seeks to sys-
tematically limit TC assistance to countries the 
United States has designated as state sponsors of 
terrorism—Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and Syria—even 
though under U.S. law these countries are subject to 
sanctions.’’. 
(6) The GAO report also found that ‘‘Together, 
[Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and Syria] received more than 
$55 million in TC assistance from 1997 through 
2007.’’. These four countries have received contin-
ued assistance since 2007.
