     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The illicit nuclear activities of the Government of 
     Iran and its support for international terrorism represent 
     threats to the security of the United States, its strong ally 
     Israel, and other allies of the United States around the 
     world.
       (2) The United States and other responsible countries have 
     a vital interest in working together to prevent the 
     Government of Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons 
     capability.
       (3) The International Atomic Energy Agency has repeatedly 
     called attention to Iran's illicit nuclear activities and, as 
     a result, the United Nations Security Council has adopted a 
     range of sanctions designed to encourage the Government of 
     Iran to cease those activities and comply with its 
     obligations under the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear 
     Weapons, done at Washington, London, and Moscow July 1, 1968, 
     and entered into force March 5, 1970 (commonly known as the 
     ``Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty'').
       (4) The serious and urgent nature of the threat from Iran 
     demands that the United States work together with its allies 
     to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability.
       (5) The United States and its major European allies, 
     including the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, have 
     advocated that sanctions be strengthened should international 
     diplomatic efforts fail to achieve verifiable suspension of 
     Iran's uranium enrichment program and an end to its illicit 
     nuclear activities.
       (6) There is an increasing interest by States, local 
     governments, educational institutions, and private 
     institutions to seek to disassociate themselves from 
     companies that conduct business activities in the energy 
     sector of Iran, since such business activities may directly 
     or indirectly support the efforts of the Government of Iran 
     to achieve a nuclear weapons capability.

[[Page S1466]]

       (7) Black market proliferation networks continue to 
     flourish in the Middle East, allowing countries like Iran to 
     gain access to sensitive dual-use technologies.
       (8) The Government of Iran continues to engage in serious, 
     systematic, and ongoing violations of human rights and 
     religious freedom, including illegitimate prolonged 
     detention, torture, and executions. Such violations have 
     increased in the aftermath of the presidential election in 
     Iran on June 12, 2009.

     SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING ILLICIT NUCLEAR 
                   ACTIVITIES AND VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN 
                   IRAN.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) international diplomatic efforts to address Iran's 
     illicit nuclear efforts and support for international 
     terrorism are more likely to be effective if the President is 
     empowered with the explicit authority to impose additional 
     sanctions on the Government of Iran;
       (2) additional measures should be adopted by the United 
     States to prevent the diversion and transshipment of 
     sensitive dual-use technologies to Iran;
       (3) the concerns of the United States regarding Iran are 
     strictly the result of the actions of the Government of Iran;
       (4) the people of the United States--
       (A) have a long history of friendship and exchange with the 
     people of Iran;
       (B) regret that developments in recent decades have created 
     impediments to that friendship;
       (C) hold the people of Iran, their culture, and their 
     ancient and rich history in the highest esteem; and
       (D) remain deeply concerned about continuing human rights 
     abuses in Iran;
       (5) the President should--
       (A) continue to press the Government of Iran to respect the 
     internationally recognized human rights and religious 
     freedoms of its citizens;
       (B) identify the officials of the Government of Iran that 
     are responsible for continuing and severe violations of human 
     rights and religious freedom in Iran; and
       (C) take appropriate measures to respond to such 
     violations, including by--
       (i) prohibiting officials the President identifies as being 
     responsible for such violations from entry into the United 
     States; and
       (ii) freezing the assets of those officials; and
       (6) additional funding should be provided to the Secretary 
     of State to document, collect, and disseminate information 
     about human rights abuses in Iran, including serious abuses 
     that have taken place since the presidential election in Iran 
     conducted on June 12, 2009.

     SEC. ___. RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA TO 
                   DEFINE MARRIAGE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) a broad coalition of residents of the District of 
     Columbia petitioned for an initiative in accordance with the 
     District of Columbia Home Rule Act to establish that ``only 
     marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in 
     the District of Columbia'';
       (2) this petition anticipated the Council of the District 
     of Columbia's passage of an Act legalizing same-sex marriage;
       (3) the unelected District of Columbia Board of Elections 
     and Ethics and the unelected District of Columbia Superior 
     Court thwarted the residents' initiative effort to define 
     marriage democratically, holding that the initiative amounted 
     to discrimination prohibited by the District of Columbia 
     Human Rights Act; and
       (4) the definition of marriage affects every person and 
     should be debated openly and democratically.
       (b) Referendum or Initiative Requirement.--Notwithstanding 
     any other provision of law, including the District of 
     Columbia Human Rights Act, the government of the District of 
     Columbia shall not issue a marriage license to any couple of 
     the same sex until the people of the District of Columbia
