                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United 
  Nations Security Council should sanction Iran for its noncompliance 
               with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Whereas, on August 8, 2005, Iran broke the International Atomic Energy Agency's 
        (IAEA) seals on its uranium facility at Esfahan and began the process of 
        conversion, one step before uranium enrichment;
Whereas, on September 24, 2005, the United States and the European Union 
        achieved a majority vote of the IAEA board to declare Iran in 
        noncompliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and refer 
        the issue to the United Nations Security Council if Iran did not return 
        to compliance with the Paris Agreement;
Whereas, on January 3, 2006, Iran challenged the international community by 
        announcing it would resume uranium ``research'' activities and 
        subsequently broke IAEA seals at its uranium enrichment facility at 
        Natanz and at related locations;
Whereas, on February 4, 2006, at an emergency IAEA board meeting, the board 
        voted 27-3 in favor of a resolution to ``report'' to the Security 
        Council the steps required of Iran to return to compliance with the 
        Paris Agreement;
Whereas after this vote, Iran ceased allowing the voluntary IAEA inspections 
        that had been agreed to in the previous negotiations with England, 
        France, and Germany and had the IAEA remove some monitoring equipment;
Whereas the IAEA report of February 27, 2006, stated that inspectors reportedly 
        confirmed on February 14, 2006, that Iran had begun some enrichment 
        activities involving 10 centrifuges; and
Whereas, on April 11, 2006, Iran announced the successful enrichment of uranium: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives 
that--
            (1) the United Nations Security Council should sanction 
        Iran for its noncompliance with Nuclear Non-Proliferation 
        Treaty (NPT); and
            (2) if the United Nations Security Council does not 
        sanction Iran, the Secretary of State may withhold United 
        States contributions to the United Nations until proper action 
        is taken by the United Nations Security Council to return Iran 
        to compliance with the NPT.
