assessed budget of the Agency and the United
States also provides annual voluntary contributions
to the Technical Assistance and Cooperation Fund
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.
