LINDSEY 0, GRAHAM ey UNITED STATES SENATE August 19, 2015 ‘The Honorable John Kerry Secretary of State U.S. Department of State Washington, D.C. 20520 Dear Secretary Kerry Following up on my letter of August 11, 2015, I wanted to bring to your attention an article that ‘was published today by the Associated Press. In the article, itis reported that Iran will be allowed to “employ its own experts and equipment in the search for evidence for activities that it has consistently denied — trying to develop nuclear weapons.” The article goes on to discuss how International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) “staff will be reduced to monitoring Iranian personnel as these [sic] inspect the Parchin site... beyond being barred from physically visiting the site— the agency won’t even get photo or video information from areas Iran says are off limits because they have military significance.” If accurate, these revelations expose yet another major shortcoming in the deal. ‘When I coauthored the Jran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 with Senators Corker, Menendez, and Cardin, we included a requirement to share any IAEA side agreements with Congress. We included this language precisely because we feared a scenario under which the effectiveness of the entire deal was predicated on a weak or secret deal between the [AEA and the Iranians, While the Administration has still failed to comply with this provision of the law, at the very least, today’s revelation only underscores the need for the [AEA to share with Congress the text of any and all side agreements with the Iranians. I reiterate that I intend to condition and/or withhold voluntary contributions to the IAEA in fiscal year 2016 should they not be provided prior to the congressional debate next month. I look forward to your response. Now—— Lindsey O. Graham United States Senator Sincerely,
