IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
MAY 20, 2019 
Mr. GALLAGHER (for himself, Ms. CHENEY, Mrs. HARTZLER, Mr. KING of 
New York, Mr. DIAZ-BALART, Mr. MEADOWS, Mr. BUDD, Mr. WEBER 
of Texas, and Mr. GAETZ) submitted the following resolution; which was 
referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs 
RESOLUTION 
Opposing the lifting of sanctions imposed with respect to 
Iran without addressing Iran’s nuclear program, ballistic 
missile development, support for terrorism, and other 
destabilizing activities. 
Whereas the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), 
an agreement that was finalized by the administration of 
President Obama and the respective governments of the 
United Kingdom, Germany, France, the People’s Repub-
lic of China, and the Russian Federation (P5+1) in July 
2015, provided Iran permanent sanctions relief and ac-

Whereas, under the JCPOA, restrictions on the number and 
types of centrifuges that Iran may manufacture, the 
number and types of enrichment facilities that Iran may 
construct, and the amount and level of enriched uranium 
and heavy water that Iran may stockpile, will expire; 
Whereas 
United 
Nations 
Security 
Council 
Resolution 
(UNSCR) 2231, unanimously adopted on July 20, 2015, 
contained an 8-year nonbinding restriction on Iranian nu-
clear-capable ballistic missile activities and a 5-year ban 
on conventional arms transfers to Iran; 
Whereas neither the JCPOA nor UNSCR 2231 adequately 
addressed the threat emanating from Iran’s ballistic mis-
sile program or support for terrorism, and the sunset 
provisions applied to prohibitions in UNSCR 2231 inad-
vertently legitimized that program and support; 
Whereas, based on the shortcomings of the JCPOA and 
UNSCR 2231, bipartisan majorities in both the Senate 
and the House of Representatives opposed the JCPOA 
and the sanctions relief for Iran contained in the agree-
ment; 
Whereas the sanctions relief contained in the JCPOA pro-
vided resources necessary for Iran to continue developing 
ballistic missiles and supporting terrorism; 
Whereas the administration of President Trump has des-
ignated Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps 
(IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organization under section 
219(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
1189(a)) and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist 
group under Executive Order 13224 (50 U.S.C. 1701

actions with persons who commit, threaten to commit, or 
support terrorism); 
Whereas, on May 21, 2018, Secretary of State Pompeo out-
lined steps that the Iranian Government must take to 
normalize relations with the United States, to include— 
(1) providing the International Atomic Energy Agen-
cy (IAEA) a full account of the prior military dimensions 
of its nuclear program and permanently and verifiably 
abandoning such work; 
(2) ceasing all enrichment and vowing never to pur-
sue plutonium reprocessing; 
(3) providing the IAEA with access to all sites 
throughout the entire country; 
(4) ending its development and proliferation of bal-
listic missiles; 
(5) releasing all United States citizens currently held 
hostage, as well as citizens of United States partners and 
allies; 
(6) ending support for terrorist groups, including 
Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad; 
(7) respecting the sovereignty of Iraq by demobi-
lizing Iranian-controlled Shia militias in the country; 
(8) ending its military support for the Houthi militia 
in Yemen; 
(9) withdrawing all forces under Iranian command 
in Syria; 
(10) ending support for the Taliban in Afghanistan 
and for senior al Qaeda leaders around the region; 
(11) ending the IRGC’s support for terrorists and 
militant partners around the world; and
