          IRAN REFINED PETROLEUM SANCTIONS ACT IMPLEMENTATION

  (Mrs. MILLER of Michigan asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER of Michigan. Madam Speaker, I rise today to ask that the 
Iran Refined Petroleum Sanctions Act, which was signed into law on July 
1 by President Obama, be implemented in an expedited as well as a 
rigorous fashion.
  This law, Madam Speaker, requires the President to impose sanctions 
on any entity that provides Iran with refined petroleum resources or 
engages in activities that will contribute to Iran's ability to import 
such resources.
  The Government of Iran must verifiably suspend and dismantle its 
nuclear weapons program, stop all uranium enrichment activities, and 
comply with their commitments under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation 
Treaty.
  There can be no doubt that Iran poses a significant threat to the 
United States and our allies in the Middle East and elsewhere, and it 
is proceeding with an aggressive nuclear weapons program, despite its 
claim that the Iranian program was designed for peaceful uses.
  Madam Speaker, this law provides a powerful stick to force the 
Iranians to take decisive and concrete action to end their illicit 
nuclear weapons program. The time for Iranian delay, denial, and 
deception is over.
  Mr. President, I urge you to begin the implementation of these 
sanctions without delay.
