     percentage indicated in the prior submission to Congress 
     under subsection (b)(1); or
       (2) any enrichment of uranium-235 in a quantity exceeding 
     10 kilograms.
       (b) Submission to Congress.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than 48 hours after the Director 
     of National Intelligence assesses that the Islamic Republic 
     of Iran has produced or possesses any amount of uranium-235 
     enriched to greater than 60 percent purity or has engaged in 
     significant enrichment activity, the Director of National 
     Intelligence shall submit to Congress such assessment, 
     consistent with the protection of intelligence sources and 
     methods.
       (2) Duplication.--For any submission required by this 
     subsection, the Director of National Intelligence may rely

     judgment of the intelligence community, including reports or 
     products produced in response to congressional mandate or 
     requests from executive branch officials.
