 Requesting the President to transmit to the House of Representatives 
     not later than 14 days after the date of the adoption of this 
 resolution documents or other materials in the President's possession 
            relating to Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.

    Resolved, That the President is requested to transmit to the House 
of Representatives not later than 14 days after the date of the 
adoption of this resolution documents or other materials in the 
President's possession that provides specific evidence for the 
following claims relating to Iraq's weapons of mass destruction:
            (1) On August 26, 2002, the Vice President in a speech 
        stated: ``Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein 
        now has weapons of mass destruction . . . What he wants is 
        time, and more time to husband his resources to invest in his 
        ongoing chemical and biological weapons program, and to gain 
        possession of nuclear weapons.''.
            (2) On September 12, 2002, in a speech to the United 
        Nations General Assembly, the President stated: ``Right now, 
        Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for 
        the production of biological weapons . . . Iraq has made 
        several attempts to buy high-strength aluminum tubes used to 
        enrich uranium for a nuclear weapon.''.
            (3) On October 7, 2002, in a speech in Cincinnati, Ohio, 
        the President stated: ``It [Iraq] possesses and produces 
        chemical and biological weapons. It is seeking nuclear weapons 
        . . . And surveillance photos reveal that the regime is 
        rebuilding facilities that it had used to produce chemical and 
        biological weapons.''.
            (4) On January 7, 2003, the Secretary of Defense at a press 
        briefing stated: ``There is no doubt in my mind but that they 
        currently have chemical and biological weapons.''.
            (5) On January 9, 2003, in his daily press briefing, the 
        White House spokesperson stated: ``We know for a fact that 
        there are weapons there [in Iraq].''.
            (6) On March 16, 2003, in an appearance on NBC's ``Meet The 
        Press'', the Vice President stated: ``We believe he [Saddam 
        Hussein] has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons. I think 
        Mr. El Baradei frankly is wrong.''.
            (7) On March 17, 2003, in an Address to the Nation, the 
        President stated: ``Intelligence gathered by this and other 
        governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to 
        possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever 
        devised.''.
            (8) On March 21, 2003, in his daily press briefing the 
        White House spokesperson stated: ``Well, there is no question 
        that we have evidence and information that Iraq has weapons of 
        mass destruction, biological and chemical particularly . . . 
        all this will be made clear in the course of the operation, for 
        whatever duration it takes.''.
            (9) On March 24, 2003, in an appearance on CBS's ``Face the 
        Nation'', the Secretary of Defense stated: ``We have seen 
        intelligence over many months that they have chemical and 
        biological weapons, and that they have dispersed them and that 
        they're weaponized and that, in one case at least, the command 
        and control arrangements have been established.''.
            (10) On March 30, 2003, in an appearance on ABC's ``This 
        Week'', the Secretary of Defense stated: ``We know where they 
        [weapons of mass destruction] are, they are in the area around 
        Tikrit and Baghdad.''.
