For Immediate Release August 25, 1999
TEXT OF LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
TO THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES
AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE
August 24, 1999
Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)
Pursuant to section 585(c) of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing,
and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1999, as contained in the
Omnibus Appropriations Act of 1999 (Public Law 105-277) (the "Act"), I
hereby transmit a report concerning Iraq's weapons of mass destruction
programs.
The report is comprised of three sections that provide the information
required by section 585(c) of the Act, to the extent that such
information is available: assessment of Iraq's nuclear and other weapons
of mass destruction programs and its efforts to move toward procurement
of nuclear weapons and the means to deliver weapons of mass destruction;
assessment of the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) action team
reports, and other IAEA efforts to monitor the extent and nature of
Iraq's nuclear program; and an opinion on the value of maintaining the
ongoing inspection regime rather than replacing it with a passive
monitoring system.
Sincerely,
WILLIAM J. CLINTON
