                               RESOLUTION


 
    Demanding that the Government of Iran immediately disclose the 
  existence of any additional nuclear-related facilities and provide 
           unfettered access to its Qom enrichment facility.

Whereas the Government of Iran's nuclear weapons program threatens the United 
        States, U.S. allies, the global nonproliferation regime, and stability 
        in the Middle East and Central Asia;
Whereas the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has repeatedly called 
        attention to Iran's unlawful nuclear activities, and, as a result, the 
        United Nations Security Council has adopted sanctions to encourage the 
        Government of Iran to cease those activities and comply with its 
        obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons 
        (commonly known as the ``Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty'');
Whereas Iran has engaged in a pattern of deception and evasion while the 
        international community has sought to ensure in good faith that Iran 
        does not develop nuclear weapons;
Whereas not until September 21, 2009, did the Government of Iran inform the IAEA 
        of its covert enrichment facility near Qom;
Whereas the Government of Iran has labored to conceal the existence and purpose 
        of the Qom facility while at the same time claiming that its nuclear 
        program has been fully disclosed to the IAEA; and
Whereas the size and configuration of the Qom facility raises credible suspicion 
        that it is designed for enrichment associated with a military nuclear 
        program: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) demands that the Government of Iran immediately 
        disclose the existence of any additional nuclear-related 
        facilities;
            (2) urges the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to 
        proceed as soon as possible with inspections of the Qom 
        enrichment facility; and
            (3) insists that the Government of Iran provide IAEA 
        inspectors immediate and unfettered access to its Qom facility 
        and any other such facilities not yet disclosed.
                                 <all>
