           INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY REPORT ON IRAN

  (Mr. QUIGLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

[[Page H13036]]

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, today the International Atomic Energy 
Agency released disturbing new information about Iran. The U.N. 
watchdog said Iran could be constructing several more covert nuclear 
installations. The report also said that Iran lied about the facility 
we do know about, saying construction began in 2007 when satellite 
photos prove it was started in 2002.
  Most disturbing of all, the report indicates that Tehran has now 
produced 1\3/4\ tons of low-enriched uranium. That is enough for two 
bombs if enriched further. Four weeks ago, Iran was offered a deal to 
ship its uranium overseas for processing, but instead of accepting, it 
gave us more delays. Today's report makes it clear that we can't afford 
to offer any more deals or accept any more delays.
  This House took full action when it passed the Iran Sanctions 
Enabling Act and must now pass the Iran Refined Petroleum Sanctions 
Act. The time for action is now.
