                               RESOLUTION


 
Condemning the recent election of the Iranian Ambassador to the United 
Nations to the position of Vice-chair of the United Nations Disarmament 
                              Commission.

Whereas Iran reportedly is accelerating its nuclear weapons program and claims 
        to have mastered the technology for uranium enrichment;
Whereas the United Nations Security Council has noted ``with serious concern 
        Iran's resumption of uranium enrichment-related activities and its 
        suspension of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency 
        (IAEA)'' and underlined the importance of Iran re-establishing ``full 
        and sustained suspension of all enrichment-related and reprocessing 
        activities, including research and development'';
Whereas Iran has suspended its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy 
        Agency (IAEA);
Whereas on April 10, 2006, the United Nations Disarmament Commission elected the 
        Iranian Ambassador to the United Nations as one of its Vice-chairs;
Whereas the United Nations Disarmament Commission exists to promote disarmament 
        and nuclear non-proliferation; and
Whereas Iran's election as one of the Vice-chairs of the United Nations 
        Disarmament Commission may further undermine the Commission from 
        effectively addressing nuclear threats: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives condemns the United 
Nations Disarmament Commission's election of the Iranian Ambassador to 
the United Nations to the position of Vice-chair of the Commission.
