I will call this subcommittee hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to order. I welcome Senator Biden, the ranking member of the full committee. Senator Brownback will be with us shortly. We welcome Senator Hatch, who has had an interest in this issue as it relates to a statute. I invited him to be here. The majority leader encouraged him to be here because of the interest of his committee.

We will proceed with opening statements. In U.S. foreign policy there is no greater imperative for the President than ensuring that his initiatives are consistent with America's interests and laws. If a political consensus is unobtainable, in limited circumstances the President can impose a policy as long as it is consistent with U.S. law. But he must be forthright with the American people and their elected representatives, the U.S. Congress.

Just over a week ago the New York Times revealed that in 1995 Vice President Al Gore and then-Russian Premier Victor Chernomyrdin signed a secret agreement that appears to violate each of these important principles. In this agreement the United States reportedly dropped its objections to Russia's transfer of sophisticated weapons to Iran and promised not to impose sanctions mandated by U.S. law as a response to those transfers. In return, Russia committed not to sell Iran more weapons after December 31, 1999. As we now know, Russia continues to provide Iran not only powerful conventional weaponry, but also provides technology and know-how that benefits Iran's missile and nuclear weapons programs.

That the Gore-Chernomyrdin agreement was not shared with Congress raises disquieting questions about the administration's commitment to forging a foreign policy. Such bipartisanship cannot be achieved when the President develops and implements an initiative in secret and keeps hidden crucial details from the American people and their representatives in Congress. When Congressmen and Senators have to turn to newspapers, as opposed to the White House, to be fully informed on U.S. foreign policy, this is not right.

What we do know about the Gore-Chernomyrdin agreement and its implications for our interests abroad is disturbing. This agreement reportedly may have limited our response to Russia's arms sales to Iran, a country which is a significant sponsor of international terrorism directed against the West and its allies.

Since the signing of the Gore-Chernomyrdin agreement, Russia delivered to Iran one advanced Kilo submarine for a total of three, long-range torpedoes, and also anti-ship mines and other weapons. Simply put, these are dangerous weapons in a dangerous part of the world.

Press reports also indicate that in the Gore-Chernomyrdin document the United States agreed to ensure that U.S. customers in the Middle East would not transfer American-made weapons to countries along Russia's periphery. This sort of deal-making must re-awaken fears among the newly free States of Central Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia that they may become once again the objects of secret agreements between great powers. It is hardly likely to increase their confidence in the United States.

Every American should know that our request of Russia that it not export high-caliber conventional and nuclear weapons to terrorist states bent on killing Americans is not made without consideration. Last year alone, we sent 180 million tax dollars to Russia to aid that country's transition to Western democracy, not to subsidize Russian arms manufacturing and sales.

Finally, there remain grave questions concerning whether the administration's handling of the Gore-Chernomyrdin agreement conforms to United States statutory and constitutional law. It is difficult for me to understand how this agreement is consistent with the Iran-Iraq Arms Nonproliferation Act of 1992, a bill that the Vice President himself introduced during his years in the Senate. This law, also known as the Gore-McCain Act, requires the imposition of sanctions against countries that transfer "destabilizing numbers and types of advanced conventional weapons to Iran." How could the executive branch not see a Kilo-class submarine as such a weapon? It was designed to destroy U.S. Navy ships.

Congress passed the bill overwhelmingly and on a bipartisan basis, in large part due to concern about Tehran's acquisition of Russian Kilo-class submarines. It is an understatement to say that the secrecy with which the administration has handled the Gore-Chernomyrdin agreement and the legalisms employed to justify it over the last week, indeed over the last 5 years, has fostered a measure of distrust between the executive and legislative branches of government.

I hope that this hearing will yield consultation between the administration and Congress that has been so acutely lacking in the Gore-Chernomyrdin agreement thus far. It is imperative that we emerge from this dialog fully cognizant of how the agreement has affected the full range of U.S. national security interests abroad. It is imperative that we work together to ensure that the administration's policy initiatives are fully consistent with U.S. law.

Allow me to close by noting that President Woodrow Wilson once called for "open covenants, openly arrived at." Only in the rarest of circumstances should secrecy impinge upon Wilson's sage advice, and when done so consultation between the President and Congress should follow respectfully and naturally, not from the reporting of the New York Times. Only when this principle is fully respected by the President and his administration can the American people be confident that U.S. foreign policy is consistent with our Constitution and the values and interests it embodies.

Joe Biden

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Let me begin by saying thank you for calling this hearing and, as much as I love my friend from Utah, I assume he is not going to be asking questions in this hearing. It is very important that this be viewed not as a political event. I am sure the majority leader did ask for the distinguished chairman of the Judiciary Committee to be here, but, with all due respect, I welcome him being here, but I hope this is not going to turn into something that is more political than substantive.

My friend from Utah is an extremely substantive person, but, as we both know, it is highly unusual to have another member of a committee here to question on a subject that is so politically charged. But I guess we will get to that when you decide we will get to that.

Mr. Chairman, I am pleased, notwithstanding what I just said, that we are having this hearing today. It is all too easy for press leaks and innuendo to crowd out rational discussion on the many foreign policy challenges that face our country. Today we have a chance to actually learn some facts and also to set the record straight.

We should let the American people know the truth about the Gore-Chernomyrdin agreement of 1995: One, that it was a good, sensible agreement that did not give Russia any relief from U.S. law; and two, that it kept the lid on Russian arms flows from Iran, in fact, Russia's actual arms deals with Iran during the Clinton administration were only one-tenth of what they were during the Bush administration; that there were no legal requirements to give Congress formal notice of the Gore- Chernomyrdin deal, but at least one, at least one, of the House committees was briefed. Although I cannot find the data, I am told that the offer was made to brief this committee in 1995. But the House committee was briefed in 1995 on this agreement, which I think should lay rest to the notion that this was an attempt on the part of the administration to pull the wool over Congress' eyes.

But let us review a few points. First, what was this deal? This deal -- quote, unquote, "deal" -- was a followup to the Clinton-Yeltsin summit of September 1994 and May 1995 where President Yeltsin promised not to enter into any new arms contracts with Iran, emphasis on "new". That is a pretty good idea.

Vice President Gore's job in June 1995 was to nail down the details of that Clinton-Yeltsin agreement so that Russia could not readily get out from under President Yeltsin's promise. He got Chernomyrdin to agree in writing that Yeltsin's promise covered not only weapons themselves, but also arms-related technologies. In other words, Russia would not be able to sell Iran technology to manufacture the weapons that it was agreeing not to sell.

According to the fact sheet provided to this committee after the Gore-Chernomyrdin talks, Russia also agreed that arms delivery under the old contract with Iran "will be ended within a few years and will not provide Iran with new weapons capabilities or alter the military balance in the region." Vice President Gore added that Russia had provided details on those existing contracts.

OK, so far so good. So why all the excitement now, 5 years later? Well, it seems that somebody gave the press a copy of the text that Gore and Chernomyrdin signed and alleged that the United States had promised to let Russia violate U.S. law. Then some people began wondering whether this text was what we call an executive agreement. If it were, then it would have to notify the Congress.

For example, it explains how the White House could say that Russia will not give Iran new weapons capabilities. Apparently there was an attached annex that "represents the totality of the existing obligations that Russia reserves the right to fulfil pursuant to its undertakings." That means that we not only got details from Chernomyrdin, we also got agreement that there could be no other details. We got the list and, like Regis Philbin, when he asked, "is this your final answer," Chernomyrdin said: "Yes, this is my final answer." He attached it.

In addition, point two of the document says: "This undertaking also precludes the renegotiation or modification of existing contracts so as to increase the type or quantity of arms-related transfers for which Russia is currently obligated." That plugs another loophole.

Now, what did the United States give in return? We agreed to invite Russia to help develop a new arms export control regime, what was later called -- how do you pronounce it -- Wassenaar; I do not want to mispronounce it: Wassenaar agreement. Actually, Presidents Clinton and Yeltsin had already agreed on it at the summit of 1994.

It makes sense, too. We cannot control arms sales to areas of concern if we do not include Russia in that regime. After all, Russia has lots of weapons to sell and they need the money. We apparently also told Russia what arms we had sold to Saudi Arabia since 1992 and what arms we were planning to sell. I do not see any promise to limit those arms, so we are not giving away anything. We just told them what in fact we sold or planned on selling. Maybe we were reassuring Russia that we were not giving the Saudis fancy warheads for long-range missiles that they had bought from China. We had objected loudly to the missile sale once it was discovered, so these reassurances would be perfectly consistent with our publicly declared nonproliferation policy.

Finally, we said: "The United States is prepared to take appropriate steps to avoid any penalties to Russia that might otherwise arise under domestic law with respect to the completion of the transfers disclosed in the annex for so long as the Russian Federation acts in accordance with these commitments. This assurance is premised upon the assumption that Russia's disclosures in the annex are complete and fully accurate."

Now let us look at that statement: "The United States is prepared to take -- " We did not say "the United States is committed." Indeed, we called this only an "assurance," not a "promise." We also say that it only holds if the Russian annex is "complete and fully accurate." That sounds like a pretty good job of protecting our position to me.

So what actions is the United States prepared to take? We give assurance of "appropriate steps" to avoid penalizing Russia under domestic laws. What are those "appropriate steps"? I can guarantee you one thing: They are steps within the law. This document does not simply say you get a "Get Out of Jail Free" card, Russia. Russia gets out of jail only if the steps that are taken are appropriate under American law.

What penalties might otherwise arise under domestic law with respect to the completion of transfers disclosed in the annex? One relevant law was the Iran-Iraq Nonproliferation Act of 1992, the so-called McCain-Gore act. That law requires sanctions against governments that transfer "destabilizing numbers and types" of "advanced conventional weapons" to Iran or Iraq.

Thus, you must find both the sale of advanced conventional weapons to Iran and that these are of a number and type so as to tip the balance of power in the region. Now, what is "advanced conventional weapons"? Section 1608(1) of the law defines them to include such weapons as "long-range precision- guided munitions, fuel-air explosives, cruise missiles, low observability aircraft, military satellites, laser weapons, and electronic warfare systems." Russia has not sold any of that to Iran since the Gore-Chernomyrdin agreement.

The determination also includes "such other items or systems as the Pentagon may determine necessary." But the law leaves it to the President to determine -- let me read it again. The definition also includes the following phrase: "such other items or systems as the President may determine necessary." The law leaves it to the President to determine.

Only one specified weapon type might apply here, and that is advanced military aircraft. Note there is no mention of submarines in this law, despite some people's posturing on this issue, and nobody says that some MiG's and a few Su-27 aircraft were enough to be "destabilizing." According to Sandy Berger, the Pentagon analyzed the Russian arms sales at the time and concluded that they were not "destabilizing."

But we do not have to trust the government on this. Anthony Cordesman, who holds the Arleigh Burke Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, wrote recently: "Iran has not received destabilizing transfers of advanced conventional weapons." And guess what, folks. For those of you who do not know Tony Cordesman, back in 1992 he was John McCain's national security assistant, working on the McCain-Gore bill. If anybody knows what they meant by the law, he does. He says, and let me quote again: "Iran has not received destabilizing transfers of advanced conventional weapons."

Joe Biden

Like his former boss, Tony tells it like it is, and here is his general comment on the current excitement: "Political campaigns are a poor time to debate complex military issues, particularly when the debate is based upon press reports that are skewed to stress the importance of a story at the expense of objective perspectives and the facts." That is not my quote, that is not the administration's quote; that is Gore's former national security -- excuse me, McCain's former national security adviser's quote, who now heads a prestigious institute that deals with this issue.

Another law dealt with countries, like Russia, that transfer weapons to states that support international terrorism like Iran. But that law applies only to "lethal military equipment provided under contract entered into after the date of this act." There was no such contract, so there was nothing to trigger a ban on assistance to Russia under this provision.

Now to me, the laws are pretty clear. So is the fact, in my view, that they did not require any sanctioning of Russia for its conventional arms shipments to Iran after the Gore- Chernomyrdin agreement went into effect. But there is a second leak: a secret State Department cable containing the text of a letter from Secretary Albright to Russian Foreign Minister Ivanov, that some people point to as a sign of something awful.

What does the letter say? As with the memorandum I referenced earlier, I have not seen the letter. But let us look at the more cited paragraph that was leaked from the letter, so I am not confirming anything except laying out what was already in the press: "Without aide memoire, Russia's conventional arms sales to Iran would have been subject to sanctions based upon various provisions of our laws. This possibility still exists in the event of continued Russian transfers after December 31, 1999, termination date."

Now, I see two ways to interpret the paragraph. One is that Secretary Albright is saying, if you had not obeyed the aide memoire you would have gotten in trouble. And that is true. If Russia had signed new deals to sell "lethal military equipment" to Iran or if it had sold lots of "advanced conventional weapons" to Iran, it would have forced us to invoke sanctions under our law.

But they basically did obey the aide memoire and stayed out of trouble in this regard. We know that Russia failed to meet the December 31, 1999, deadline for completing its arms deliveries and I suspect that the Secretary was trying to keep Russia on the reservation.

The other responsibility interpretation is that the Secretary was overstating her case in order to use U.S. law as a "club" with which to beat the Russians. I know that we are all dedicated to the truth, but is there some rule that the United States cannot try to frighten the Russians? Does anybody here think that the Boy Scout's Oath applies to secret diplomatic notes?

Of course, partisans have said that Secretary Albright's letter proves that Russia had already broken the law. But we already saw that there is no independent factual basis for that assertion.

OK, so we all know that the Gore-Chernomyrdin arrangement was perfectly legal. Was it, however, something that had to be reported to the Congress? The answer to that is no. Now, why do I say that? The Case-Zablocki act of 1972 requires any "international agreement" other than a treaty must be submitted to the Congress within 60 days after it enters into force. Section (d) of the act states: "'The Secretary of State shall determine for and within the executive branch whether an agreement constitutes an international agreement within the meaning of this section."

Joe Biden

So what is an "international agreement"? That term signifies a legally binding agreement, one that can be enforced under international law. The question of whether an agreement is binding or is a nonbinding political agreement was codified in the 1981 State Department regulation. According to the Reagan-era regulation, the key question is the intent of the parties: Do the two sides intend to legally bind one another by agreement and does this document reflect that statement?

Let us go back to that picture in the paper of the leaked document. Judging from that text, Russia's obligation was fairly clear. But remember what we found regarding the United States. All we gave was an "assurance" that "the United States is prepared" -- I am quoting -- "The United States is prepared to take appropriate steps." Does that sound to you like a legally binding commitment? It certainly does not to me. I might add parenthetically, there is a question of whether or not -- and I will end with this -- there is a question whether or not the Case-Zablocki act is even constitutional and whether or not it violates the separation of powers doctrine. But that is a separate issue I will not take up.

Note

[The prepared statement of Senator Biden follows:] Prepared Statement of Senator Joseph R. Biden, Jr. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am very pleased that this hearing was called. It's all too easy for press leaks and innuendo to crowd out rational discussion of the many foreign policy challenges that our country faces. Today we have a chance to actually learn some facts -- and also to set the record straight.

We should let the American people know the truth about the Gore- Chernomyrdin agreement of 1995: that it was a good, sensible arrangement that did not give Russia any relief from U.S. law; that it kept the lid on Russian arms flows to Iran -- in fact, Russia's annual arms deals with Iran during the Clinton administration were only a tenth of what they were during the Bush administration; and that there was no legal requirement to give Congress formal notice of the Gore-Chernomyrdin deal, but at least one House committee was briefed. Let's review those points. First, what was this deal? It was a follow-up to the Clinton-Yeltsin summits of September 1994 and May 1995, where President Yeltsin promised not to enter into any new arms contracts with Iran. That was a pretty good deal.

Vice President Gore's job, in June 1995, was to nail down the details, so that Russia could not readily get out from under President Yeltsin's promise. He got Chernomyrdin to agree in writing that Yeltsin's promise covered not only weapons themselves, but also arms- related technologies. In other words, Russia would not be able to sell Iran the technology to manufacture the weapons that it was agreeing not to sell.

That's a famous loophole that the Chinese love to exploit. "Oh, we're not selling them weapons, we're only selling them the technology to make weapons." Al Gore plugged that loophole regarding Russian conventional arms for Iran, right at the start.

According to a fact sheet provided to this committee after the Gore-Chernomyrdin talks, Russia also agreed that arms deliveries under its old contracts with Iran "will be ended within a few years and will not provide Iran with new weapon capabilities or alter the military balance in the region." Vice President Gore added that Russia had provided details on those existing contracts.

OK, so far so good. So why all the excitement now, five years later? Well, it seems that somebody gave the press a copy of the text that Gore and Chernomyrdin signed, and alleged that the United States had promised to let Russia violate U.S. law.

Then some people began wondering whether this text was what we call an "executive agreement." If it were, then it would have to be notified to Congress.

As I will explain in a moment, these concerns are a bunch of what President Dwight Eisenhower used to call "poppycock." Let me make clear, however, that I don't expect the press to be experts on the legal implications of an aide memoire signed by a Vice President and a Prime Minister. They don't see those every day.

What I do recommend is that the Senate take a deep breath and count to 10 before giving credence to every accusation that accompanies such a leak. Let's look carefully at this document, and at the allegations.

Now, I haven't seen the document that was leaked, but one newspaper printed a picture of much of it. The picture shows a page marked "SECRET," so I don't expect the White House to say, "that's our memo."

What does it tell us? Mainly, it confirms all those things that the White House told us back in 1995. For example, it explains how the White House could say that Russia will not give Iran "new weapon capabilities." Apparently there was an "attached Annex" that "represents the totality of the existing obligations that Russia reserves the right to fulfill pursuant to its undertakings."

That means that we not only got details from Chernomyrdin, we also got agreement that there could be no other details. We got a list and, like Regis Philbin, we asked, "Is that your final answer?" Chernomyrdin said, "yes, that's my final answer."

In addition, point 2 of the document says: "This undertaking also precludes the renegotiation or modification of existing contracts so as to increase the type or quantity of arms-related transfers for which Russia is currently obligated." That's plugging another loophole.

Point 4 of the document says: "Russia will terminate all arms- related transfers to Iran not later than 31 December 1999." OK, the White House said the Russian contracts "will be ended within a few years," but actually we got a specific date. That's even better.

Now, how strong are all these assurances from Russia? Well, for what it's worth, point one calls them "Russia's obligation" and point six calls them "commitments." Not bad; those are good words.

What did the United States give in return? We agreed to invite Russia to help develop a new arms export control regime -- what was later called the Wassenaar Arrangement. Actually, Presidents Clinton and Yeltsin had already agreed on that at a summit in September 1994. It made sense, too; you can't control arms sales to areas of concern if you don't include Russia in the regime. After all, Russia has lots of weapons to sell, and they need the money.

We apparently also told Russia what arms we had sold to Saudi Arabia since 1992, and what arms we were planning to sell. I don't see any promise to limit those arms, so we weren't giving anything away. Maybe we were reassuring Russia that we were not giving the Saudis fancy warheads for the long-range missiles that they had bought from China. We had objected loudly to that missile sale once we discovered it, so those reassurances would be perfectly consistent with our publicly declared non-proliferation policy.

Finally, we said: "the United States is prepared to take appropriate steps to avoid any penalties to Russia that might otherwise arise under domestic law with respect to the completion of the transfers disclosed in the Annex for so long as the Russian Federation acts in accordance with these commitments. This assurance is premised on the assumption that the Russian disclosures in the Annex are complete and fully accurate."

Let's look at that statement. "The United States is prepared to take . . ." We didn't say "the United States is committed." Indeed, we call this only an "assurance," not even "a promise." We also say that it only holds if that Russian Annex is "complete and fully accurate." That sounds like a good job of protecting our position.

So, what action is the United States "prepared to take?" We give assurance of "appropriate steps" to avoid penalizing Russia under domestic law. What are "appropriate steps?" I can guarantee you one thing: they are steps within the law. This document does not simply say, "get out of jail free." Russia gets out of jail only if that "step" is "appropriate."

What "penalties . . . might otherwise arise under domestic law with respect to the completion of the transfers disclosed in the Annex?" One relevant law was the Iran-Iraq Arms Non-Proliferation Act of 1992, the so-called "McCain-Gore Act."

That law requires sanctions against governments that transfer "destabilizing numbers and types" of "advanced conventional weapons" to Iran or Iraq. Thus, you must find both the sale of advanced conventional weapons to Iran, and that these are of a number and type so as to tip the balance of power in the region.

Now, what are "advanced conventional weapons?" Section 1608(1) of the law defines them to include such weapons as "long-range precision- guided munitions, fuel air explosives, cruise missiles, low observability aircraft, . . . military satellites, laser weapons, . . . electronic warfare systems." Russia hasn't sold any of that to Iran since the Gore-Chernomyrdin arrangement.

The definition also includes "such other items or systems as the President may . . . determine necessary." But the law leaves that to the President to determine.

Only one specified weapons type might apply here, "advanced military aircraft." Note that there is no mention of submarines in this law, despite some people's posturing on that issue. And nobody says that some MiG's and a few Su-27 aircraft were enough to be "destabilizing." According to Sandy Berger, the Pentagon analyzed the Russian arms sales at the time and concluded that they would not be "destabilizing."

But we don't have to trust the Government on this. Anthony Cordesman, who holds the Arleigh Burke chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, wrote recently: "Iran . . . has not . . . received destabilizing transfers of advanced conventional weapons."

And guess what, folks? For those of you who don't know Tony Cordesman, back in 1992, he was John McCain's national security assistant, working on the McCain-Gore bill. If anybody knows that law, he does.

Like his former boss, Tony tells it like it is. Here is his general comment on the current excitement: Political campaigns are a poor time to debate complex military issues, particularly when the debate is based on press reports that are skewed to stress the importance of the story at the expense of objective perspective and the facts. Another law dealt with countries (like Russia) that transfer weapons to states that support international terrorism (like Iran). But that law applies only to "lethal military equipment provided under a contract entered into after the date of enactment of this Act." There was no such contract, so there was nothing to trigger a ban on assistance to Russia under this provision.

Now to me, the laws are pretty clear. So is the fact that they did not require any sanctioning of Russia for its conventional arms shipments to Iran after the Gore-Chernomyrdin arrangement went into effect. But there was a second leak -- of a "Secret" State Department cable containing the text of a letter from Secretary of State Albright to Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov -- that some people point to as a sign of something awful.

What does the letter say? As with the Aide Memoire, I haven't seen it. But let's look at the more cited paragraph in that leaked letter: Without the Aide Memoire, Russia's conventional arms sales to Iran would have been subject to sanctions based on various provisions of our laws. This possibility still exists in the event of continued Russian transfers after the December 31 [1999] termination date. Now, I see two ways to interpret this paragraph. One is that Secretary Albright is saying, "if you hadn't obeyed the Aide Memoire, you would have gotten in trouble." And that's true. If Russia had signed new deals to sell "lethal military equipment" to Iran, or if it had sold lots of "advanced conventional weapons" to Iran, it would have forced us to invoke sanctions under our law.

But they basically did obey the Aide Memoire, and stayed out of trouble in this regard. We know that Russia failed to meet the December 31, 1999, deadline for completing its arms deliveries, and I suspect that the Secretary was trying to keep Russia on the reservation.

The other reasonable interpretation is that the Secretary was overstating her case, in order to use U.S. law as a "club" with which to beat the Russians. I know that we are all dedicated to the truth, but is there some rule that the United States can't try to frighten the Russians? Does anybody here think the Boy Scout's Oath applies to secret diplomatic notes?

Of course, partisans have said that Secretary Albright's letter proves that Russia had already broken the law. But we already saw that there is no independent factual basis for that assertion.

The "Case-Zablocki Act" of 1972 requires that any "international agreement" other than a treaty must be submitted to Congress within 60 days after it enters into force. Subsection (d) of the Act states: "The Secretary of State shall determine for and within the executive branch whether an arrangement constitutes an international agreement within the meaning of this section."

So what is an "international agreement?" That term signifies a legally binding agreement, one that can be enforced under international law. The question of whether an agreement is binding (or is a non- binding political agreement) was codified in a 1981 State Department Regulation. According to that Reagan-era regulation, the key question is the intent of the parties. Do the two sides intend to be legally bound by the agreement? Does the document reflect that?

But remember what we found regarding the United States. All we gave was an "assurance" that "the United States is prepared to take appropriate steps." Does that sound to you like a legally binding commitment? It certainly doesn't to me.

Now, there was a political commitment, on both sides. Such an agreement is not uncommon. For example, President Ford signed the Helsinki Final Act, an important and famous multilateral agreement, but it was not an "executive agreement" under the law.

In the case of the Gore-Chernomyrdin arrangement, the executive branch did brief the staff and members of the House International Relations Committee. There was no oral briefing on the Senate side, but I am sure we could have gotten one if we had asked. And remember, the broad outlines of what we got were already known.

In short, then, both the deal and the handling of the deal were perfectly legal. If anybody pretends otherwise, remind them of that lovely Dwight Eisenhower word: "poppycock."

That leaves us with the real question: was this a good deal? It certainly looks like a good deal. Russia commits to stop its arms transfers to Iran once its current deals are done, they give us a definitive list of the current deals, they agree that they won't modify those deals, and they give us a time certain for the end of deliveries. All we give them is an "assurance" that the deals on that list aren't enough to trigger sanctions under U.S. law.

But what actually happened? Did this deal work? Let's see what Tony Cordesman has to say. He writes: Iran has made major cuts in its new arms agreements with Russia since 1996, and has increasing[ly] had to rely on lower quality suppliers like China. . . . The drop in new arms agreements with Russia reflected both Iran's financial problems and the result of U.S. pressures that had led President Yeltsin not to make major new arms sales to Iran." [Emphasis added.] I ask you, folks, is that a deal, or is that a deal? The Gore- Chernomyrdin arrangement was not only a good deal on paper, it was a good deal in practice as well.

How good was that deal? Let's look at the data from Tony Cordesman's analysis. Here's a chart of new arms sale agreements with the Middle East since the Gore-Chernomyrdin deal. Russia's agreements are just the tip of that little Iran column at the lower left, worth $200 million.

Cordesman calls those deals "minor, . . . [with] little military meaning, and . . . more technical than substantive." By comparison, in an earlier study, he reported that from 1987 through 1990, Russia and Iran signed $2.5 billion in arms sale agreements.

What about those arms deliveries under the old contracts? On this second chart, those are the middle part of the little Iran column at the lower left, worth $700 million. By comparison, the United States alone delivered to Saudi Arabia 22 times what Russia delivered to Iran.

This third chart shows the trends in arms deliveries over time. With the end of the Cold War, and after the Gulf War, deliveries to Iraq and Yemen go to ground. World-wide deliveries to Iran go down more gradually. By 1997, even Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates are getting more arms than Iran -- and Saudi Arabia is getting 10 or 20 times what Iran is getting.

How does Mr. Cordesman evaluate Iran's use of these new arms? He writes: Iran's procurements to date cannot compensate for the steady decay of Iran's older equipment. . . . Iran is too weak to seek a direct conflict that involves the U.S., or to risk another war with [Iraq]. It will also be years before Iranian arms imports and military production efforts can give it enough capability to deliberately initiate a conflict or reveal whether it has aggressive intentions. So now we have the substantive data, as well as the legal explanations, and -- surprise! -- the Gore-Chernomyrdin deal was legal, it was a good deal, and it worked.

That leaves us one final question. Why are we here? My answer is that we are here to see, largely or wholly in closed session, whether the case is as clear-cut in favor of the Gore-Chernomyrdin deal as I believe it is. For that I truly thank our chairmen. Given the swirl of accusations over the last couple of weeks, we need this hearing.

Mr. Chairman, I ask that the text of Tony Cordesman's study, Iranian Arms Transfers: The Facts, be made a part of the record of this hearing. I have some copies for my colleagues and for the press, and I urge our audience to download it from the CSIS website at www.csis.org. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

It certainly looks like to me this is a pretty good deal. Russia commits to stop arms transfers to Iran once its current deals are done, they give us a definitive list of the current deals, they agree that they will not modify those deals, and they give us time certain for the end of the deliveries. All we gave them was an assurance that the deals on that list are not enough to trigger sanctions under U.S. law.

But what actually happened? Did the deal work? Let us see again what Tony Cordesman says. He writes: "Iran has made major cuts in its new arms agreements with the Russians since 1996 and has increasingly had to rely on lower quality suppliers like China." Cordesman goes on: "The drop in new arms agreements with Russia reflected both Iran's financial problems and the result of U.S. pressure that had led President Yeltsin not to make major new arms sales to Iran."

I ask you, folks: Is that a deal or is that a deal? The Gore-Chernomyrdin agreement was not only a good deal on paper, it was a good deal in practice as well. That leaves us one final question: Why are we here? My answer is that we are here to see, largely or wholly in closed session, whether the case is as clear-cut in favor of the Gore-Chernomyrdin deal as I believe it is. What I truly think is that it was.

Before I proceed with my statement, I think a couple things ought to be set straight here. I know that if Chairman Helms were here, he would want me to set some of the facts straight. I have a statement here from him that "in 1995 neither Chairman Helms nor Senator Pell," who was ranking member, "nor any of their staff were briefed on the existence of a legally binding international agreement with the Russians."

"Make no mistake about it." This is further from Senator Helms: "This agreement is intended to serve as a legally binding document. The administration admitted last week that this was their intent going into the negotiations and last week a senior Russian official from the embassy told the Foreign Relations Committee staff that Russia regarded the document as legally binding.

"This agreement is chockful of specific commitments by the United States and Russia: The U.S. will do this, Russia will do this. As such, it is either a secret treaty or an agreement covered by Case-Zablocki. In either case, it was not submitted as the law requires. It was instead concealed from Congress. In various briefings, this deal on armaments to Iran that was negotiated with the Russians was attributed to President Clinton and President Yeltsin.

"Al Gore, the administration claimed, merely clarified in 1995 with Victor Chernomyrdin what Yeltsin had already pledged to do. It turns out that this was not true. Al Gore did far more than pursue clarification of an understanding with the Russians. No mention was ever made that the Vice President has signed a secret agreement that included far-ranging obligations. Certainly no mention was made that the Vice President had pledged to avoid various U.S. laws. Finally, no mention was made that the administration had decided to withhold from Congress a document that it legally was required to submit."

Now, none of us can definitively speak about what the House was told, but I understand that they were similarly misled. Certainly the Senate was never appraised of the true facts surrounding this matter.

I think it is good that we are here to finally clear the air over the Gore-Chernomyrdin agreement which allowed Russia to continue to sell conventional weapons to Iran and at the same time to continue to receive many millions of dollars of United States assistance. I certainly hope that the administration witnesses here today have come, not only to explain the agreement, but to provide us with the copies of the aide memoire, the annexes, the exchanges of letters, and other documents which the Foreign Relations Committee has formally requested. If you had provided that previously, we might not be here today.

Let me state at the outset why we are meeting here today, at this late date in the final days of the 106th Congress. We are here today because exactly 13 days ago the New York Times revealed that Vice President Gore had signed a secret agreement with Russian Prime Minister Victor Chernomyrdin in which the Vice President made commitments to the Russian Government that the Clinton-Gore administration would ignore U.S. nonproliferation laws.

Frankly, I would prefer not to be holding this hearing today. I would have preferred that the Congress had been provided with a copy of the Gore-Chernomyrdin agreement 5 years ago. I would have preferred that the Congress had had a chance back then to thoroughly review the legality of Vice President Gore's commitment to Mr. Chernomyrdin, as well as his promise in writing to -- and I am quoting from the document from the press -- "avoid any penalties to Russia that might otherwise arise under domestic law" for their weapons transfers to Iran.

Unfortunately, until the New York Times broke the story 13 days ago, Congress had not seen this written, signed agreement between the Vice President and the Russian Prime Minister. I hope that we will hear why the administration failed to disclose its existence and why the Vice President felt he had the legal authority to make a commitment on behalf of the United States not to implement U.S. sanctions law.

This Gore-Chernomyrdin deal has broad foreign policy ramifications. The decision to allow Russia to escape the consequences of providing Iran with conventional weapons is one which affects not only the security of American military personnel in the gulf, but also the security of our allies in the region. This is not the type of agreement which should have been kept from the American people, and it is certainly not something that Members of Congress should have learned about from the press.

Now, there are assertions here that, well, so what, it was a good deal. I think that is certainly up for question. I have a letter here that I want to submit for the record, signed by former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Dr. Brzezinski, former National Security Adviser, Mr. Woolsey, former Director of the CIA, where they question highly whether this was a good deal or not. They state this:

"The President's most important job is safeguarding our Nation's security and our ability to protect our interests, our citizens, and our allies and friends. The military balance in regions of vital interest to America and our allies, including the Persian Gulf, which is a critical source of the world's energy supplies, is the essential underpinning for a strong foreign policy. This is why we are deeply disturbed by the agreement made by Vice President Gore and then-Russian Premier Chernomyrdin, in which America acquiesced in the sale by Russia to Iran of highly threatening military equipment, such as modern submarines, fighter planes, and wake-homing torpedoes. "We also find it incomprehensible that this agreement was not fully disclosed even to those committees of Congress charged with receiving highly classified briefings, apparently at the request of the Russian Premier. But agreement to this request is even more disturbing since the Russian sales could have brought about sanctions against Russia in accordance with the 1992 U.S. law sponsored by Senator John McCain and then-Senator Al Gore."

A copy of the full statement follows. 2statement by former secretaries of state, defense, directors of central intelligence and national security advisors on the sale of russian weapons to iran October 24, 2000 The following individuals, who include supporters of both Governor George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore, believe strongly that: "The President's most important job is safeguarding our nation's security and our ability to protect our interests, our citizens and our allies and friends. The military balance in regions of vital interest to America and her allies -- including the Persian Gulf, which is a critical source of the world's energy supplies -- is the essential underpinning for a strong foreign policy.

I hope we will hear from the administration how this agreement is not a violation of the 1992 Gore-McCain act and how having a world leader in state- sponsored terrorism armed with Kilo-class submarines, advanced mines, and torpedoes, and other such weapons is not destabilizing.

The Vice President and senior administration officials have vigorously denied that Mr. Gore made a secret commitment to Russia to ignore any U.S. sanctions laws. A Gore spokesman told the New York Times that: "None of the weapons included in the agreement met the standard for triggering sanctions under the Gore-McCain law." This assertion is explicitly contradicted by another secret document, a letter sent January 13 by Secretary of State Madeleine Albright to Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov and revealed last week by the Washington Times, another press source. We have that posted over here to my right. I hope our witnesses have brought us a copy of this letter so that we can have the benefit of the entire text and context.

In the meantime, I want to quote from that letter at some length. In it Secretary Albright declares: "We have also upheld our commitment not to impose sanctions for these transfers disclosed in the annex to the aide memoire." Skipping on down: "Without the aide memoire, Russia's conventional arms sales to Iran would have been subject to sanctions based on various provisions of our laws." Still further: "This possibility still exists in the event of continued Russian transfers after the December 31 termination date."

In her letter, at least those parts of it that I have seen, courtesy of the Washington Times publication of it, Secretary Albright is crystal-clear. She declares that Russia's arms sales to Iran were in fact subject under U.S. law to sanctions, but that those sanctions were never imposed because of Vice President Gore's agreement with Mr. Chernomyrdin.

I see no other way to read Secretary Albright's letter except as a blatant admission that this administration concluded a secret agreement with Russia in which it promised to ignore U.S. nonproliferation laws. I would be very interested in learning if the administration can explain to the American people this morning before we go into closed session why they should not reach precisely that same conclusion.

There are other concerns as well related to this matter. Withholding information from Congress may itself be a violation of the law. As previously stated by Senator Biden, the Case- Zablocki act states that "any international agreement must be transmitted to Congress within 60 days of its negotiation." Now, this law was specifically enacted in order to protect American democracy by holding the President and his people accountable for their international agreements. But that law appears to have been broken.

The administration argues that this does not fall under Case-Zablocki because they say that the Gore-Chernomyrdin deal is a "understanding" and not a "agreement." Now, this kind of legal hair-splitting causes the American people to question the honesty and integrity of their elected officials. Once the administration has provided us with all the relevant documents, perhaps we can understand their side of this agreement.

As you can see, there is a broad range of issues to cover at this hearing this morning. I look forward to hearing our witnesses exploring not only the legality of the Gore- Chernomyrdin agreement, but also the ramifications of this agreement and whether it and the secrecy in which it is shrouded was in fact in the best interests of our Nation.

Joe Biden

No. I really hope we focus on the facts raised, the issues raised by you and Senator Brownback. I just hope we focus on it, because what may happen is, for example, if the Democrats chaired this committee I hope they would not be holding a hearing on "Europeans Say Bush Pledge to Pull Out of Balkans Could Split NATO." I mean, this is a political season and we should be very careful here.

My agreement with Secretary Talbott is that there would be opening statements by Senators, opening statements by State Department witnesses if they choose to make them, and no other testimony from other witnesses either for or against the position that they are going to present to us. These understandings I reached with Secretary Talbott and also with Senator Brownback, Senator Biden, in order to as much as is possible, in a hyperpolitical season in an always political town, to try and de-politicize what is a very serious substantive issue.

We are here today under very difficult and very unhappy circumstances. Serious accusations have been leveled, classified documents are appearing in the press as photo inserts, and our negotiating strategy with Russia on sensitive national security matters is being compromised by discussing these matters in public.

Let me repeat the last sentence to make sure that all of you got that. Our negotiating strategy with Russia on sensitive national security matters is being compromised by discussing these matters in public. This will put the next administration, no matter who wins the election, in a very difficult position for future diplomacy.

We are here to review what the administration has done over the last 7 years to address what we all agree is a serious national security problem, Iran's quest to acquire advanced conventional and nuclear weapons, as well as the means to deliver them. I will first review the matters involving conventional arms and my colleague Joe DeThomas will discuss briefly nuclear matters.

We also want to address directly the allegations we have heard about violations of laws and agreements purportedly kept secret from Congress. We will address what we can in this statement, but we are sure you understand that unauthorized disclosure of classified information does not mean it has been declassified. That is why we appreciate the fact that we will be able to go into executive session after this to discuss this in more detail.

I did not participate personally in the negotiations of the understanding for Russia to close out its arms sales to Iran. I will provide you with answers to the best of my knowledge and ability based on a review of the records, the negotiating history, and speaking with some of the participants who were directly involved in the negotiations.

But based on that review, I am convinced that Congress was properly informed, that the broad outlines of the understandings were discussed in public and in testimony before the Senate, that the U.S. effectively used the nonproliferation sanctions laws as leverage to gain advantage for U.S. national security, and that diplomacy, including by the Secretary of State, was reinforced in a manner that was fully consistent with U.S. national law and U.S. national security.

Let us turn now to the facts. In 1991 Russia concluded a large, multi-year conventional arms contract with Iran. In 1992 it concluded a nuclear cooperation agreement with Iran. It is these two agreements, which pre-date the Clinton administration, that the administration had to contain and reverse. Our prepared statement, which we ask be included for the record, reviews our overall strategy and what we achieved.

Russia promised that it would not conclude contracts for conventional weapons to Iran and it agreed not to provide to Iran most of the nuclear technology, including all the most dangerous types of technology, that it was proposing to sell. Frankly, one measure of the success in restraining Russian arms exports might be the many complaints we have received from Russia directly and in the Russian press that Russia has lost billions of dollars of conventional arms sales to Iran and hundreds of millions of dollars of sensitive nuclear technology sales, this all specifically due to our efforts. We know these understandings were a good deal for the United States in part because of the Russian media commentators and politicians who argued that they were not in Russia's interests.

Let me address the issues on conventional armaments as best I can in this session. First, we kept both the public and the Congress fully informed. During the 1994 summit, Presidents Clinton and Yeltsin reached an understanding that Russia would not undertake new contracts or other agreements to transfer conventional arms to Iran, but that existing contracts would be fulfilled. This was announced publicly.

This matter was again on the agenda for the May 1995 summit and the subject of public discussion even before the summit by Secretary Christopher and Secretary Perry. At the May 1995 summit, the actions were discussed publicly in even greater detail, as was the fact that Vice President Gore and Russian Prime Minister Chernomyrdin would resolve the details and record the understanding.

That understanding between the Vice President and Russian Prime Minister Chernomyrdin on conventional arms was announced publicly in a fact sheet, that was also widely distributed -- indeed, I believe Mr. Biden noted that it was distributed to this committee -- and immediately after the commission meeting in 1995. These matters were also briefed to Congress.

We referred to this understanding frequently, often in open testimony, often before this committee. Indeed, I personally referred to this understanding by Russia and other countries in open Senate testimony before the Senate Banking Committee just last year.

Of course, certain sensitive documents were classified and were closely held in the executive branch, that is before they were published in the newspaper. This is a common practice for all administrations on very sensitive diplomatic negotiations, but the thrust of these documents was widely telegraphed to both the Congress and the American people.

We also used the law to buttress our nonproliferation policy. There was no promise to evade the law. We agreed to provide assurances that we would take "appropriate steps" to avoid penalties on arms transfers in the pipeline, but only after a careful review to ensure that they did not in fact trigger mandatory sanctions under the Iran-Iraq Act or other potentially applicable sanctions laws. We made no promises that we would not impose the law, and indeed we have provided information to Congress on sanctions determinations involving Russia and Iran that we have made.

State Department lawyers reviewed these matters thoroughly at the time, including applicable statutes that govern transfers of lethal military equipment to Iran, and were satisfied that these statutes did not apply to the arms transfers identified in the understanding. The conclusion of non-sanctionability was reached only after careful review by the State Department, the intelligence community, the Defense Department, and the Joint Staff.

Some have cited a sentence in a recently leaked classified letter of the Secretary of State as being inconsistent with this statement. The fact is that Secretary Albright's letter was intended to deliver a stern warning that failure to abide by the restrictions embodied in the aide memoire regarding arms sales to Iran could have serious consequences, including the possibility of sanctions. Her letter did not go into the nuances of U.S. sanctions law, but it is entirely consistent with the purposes of the aide memoire and the Iran-Iraq act.

In that letter we were seeking clarifications from the Russians regarding their compliance with the aide memoire. At the time of the letter those clarifications had not been received. Because it was essential that the United States obtain this information, we felt it appropriate to stress the maximum consequences they might face depending on further disclosures about Russian export activities.

We had available to us at the time a variety of discretionary sanctions under various other provisions of our law other than the Iran-Iraq act and lethal military equipment laws, for example the cutting off of licenses under the Arms Export Control Act. We felt this approach would be most effective in persuading the Russians to provide the needed information, and indeed this approach succeeded in obtaining a reaffirmation of the Russian commitment to limit the scope of the conventional weapons transfers to those items covered by the aide memoire. We would have been criticized, frankly, if we did not take this to senior levels, to address our concerns about Russia fulfilling these commitments.

It has always been the case that the transfers subject to the aide memoire do not trigger U.S. sanctions laws. There were no sanctions to impose. So in fact we have never taken any steps to avoid penalties against the Russians for transfers in the pipeline. That was our conclusion in 1995. It still stands today.

A key part of the process to resolve the issues addressed in the joint statement and the aide memoire: We insisted on the exchange of information on these pre-existing contracts. The impact of all the arms transferred or to be transferred, including the Kilo submarine that had not yet been delivered, was reviewed by senior military and Defense officials. It was their judgment, along with ours, that transfers under those pre-existing contracts would not provide Iran with new military capabilities, alter the regional balance, nor compromise the ability of the United States and our allies to protect our mutual security interests. They judged that the declared pipeline contained no destabilizing types of advanced conventional weapons as defined under the applicable statute.

Much has been written about the three Kilo-class submarines. Let us be clear on the facts. From open sources, we know that the contract for these submarines was signed in 1988. We know that the first submarine was launched in 1991. We know that it was delivered in 1992. The only one that was left to be dealt with at the time of the signing of the understanding in 1995 was the third submarine, the process for which building it was well under way before negotiations even commenced.

Our military judged that, while one additional submarine represented an added threat to U.S. forces in the gulf, it was a manageable threat. As Dr. Perry noted publicly at the time in summing up the Department of Defense position on this, the Department of Defense did not see cause for concern on the level and the nature of conventional arms being transferred, and that it was far better to obtain the commitment from Russia to forego future sales of advanced conventional weapons or destabilizing quantities of other types of military equipment.

Again, these submarines were not within the definition of advanced conventional weapons covered by the Iran-Iraq Arms Nonproliferation Act. I assume that the past administration must have reached the same conclusion since the first submarine was delivered in 1992.

Both the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House International Relations Committee were informed about the understanding with Russia in 1995, and we have made no secret of this. Indeed, we brought this to the attention of the committee in public hearing. For example, my current boss, then-Deputy Assistant Secretary Robert Einhorn, noted in open testimony in June 1997 before this committee that Russia informed us that "one Kilo-class submarine was expected to be delivered to Iran and that tanks were also to be delivered under pre-existing contracts." He also noted that "prior to concluding the 1995 agreement we made certain that the contracts in the pipeline did not involve any new weapons systems and would not alter the regional balance nor compromise the ability of the United States and our allies to protect our mutual interests."

We told the Congress and the American people that the transfer had occurred. We outlined to them why we did not believe it was sanctionable, and it is only now that these issues are being brought to our attention.

Let me address one new comment that has also been circulating, that Russia transferred advanced fighter aircraft to Iran as part of the understanding. I believe a statement was read by a number of former Secretaries of State, Defense, and the Director of Central Intelligence earlier today that had those facts in it. Let me first say that actually -- several of those people on that list are my personal heroes that I have spent a lot of time reading about and I look up to them quite dramatically. So I do not really want to talk about their conclusions.

But I would like to talk about some of the facts that are outlined in the beginning of the statement. It noted, for example, that there was a transfer of fighter planes that was undertaken under this aide memoire. We believe that Iran's Russian aircraft were supplied before 1995.

It noted that modern submarines were transferred. That is true, there was one that was transferred after this understanding was reached. There was also one that was transferred during the time that some of the people were in office.

In addition, it notes that there was a request from the Russian Premier to keep these briefings classified. In all of your opening statements you have not mentioned any of that and that is actually the first I have heard of that.

Mr. Chairman, it is important to recognize that Russia would have sold arms to Iran no matter what the United States did. We had little direct leverage. We were essentially asking Russia to forego billions of dollars in arms sales in exchange for membership in a multilateral group that would only further constrain those arms sales. But we worked with the leverage that we had and, through the dogged determination of senior officials, Russia agreed to close out its existing contracts within a few years and agreed not to sign new contracts for the sale of arms to Iran.

Frankly, in looking back over the record of the decisions that were made, these were very tough calls. But we made an informed decision, with the best advice available, with the involvement of our senior military and with the concurrence of the Secretary of Defense. We judged that we could best protect our security interests by constraining future sales of Russian advanced conventional weapons rather than not entering into the agreement and watching Russia proceed with sales of the most threatening weapons.

Had not the United States secured this commitment, Russia would have been free to provide Iran with advanced conventional weapons and greater overall quantities of advanced conventional weapons. It would have been able to sell Iran items such as surface-to-air missiles, items that we know the Iranians still are interested in acquiring. Instead, we were able to get Russia to commit not to sign any new arms contracts with Iran, thus precluding the sales of weapons that could create a serious threat to U.S. forces, to our allies in the region, and to stability worldwide.

Mr. Chairman, confidentiality is crucial to many diplomatic negotiations. As a result of breaches of confidentiality, these understandings are now at risk. Playing this out in public can only have a chilling effect on the ability of any administration, this administration and any future administrations, to continue this process, and could seriously undermine U.S. national security.

Of course we would have preferred to stop the sale of all conventional arms to Iran. But this deal precluded the most advanced conventional weapons from reaching Iran after 1995, the very weapons that would have provided the greatest risk to our security.

If the United States had failed to respond to this leadership challenge and had stood by while Russia pursued sales to Iran of the most destabilizing conventional weapons, the Middle East would be even more explosive than it is now. Seven years of patient and high level diplomacy have resulted in Iran obtaining fewer weapons. Of course we wish we could have stopped more, but it is only as a result of our efforts that there has been any downturn in Iranian acquisitions.

The approach outlined by this aide memoire and the overall administration approach advance U.S. security interests and those of our friends and our allies by constraining future Russian behavior. Without these commitments, the world would have been more dangerous.

I will speak very briefly and far less eloquently than anybody today. I want to discuss a little bit one of the ancillary press moments that we have had at the same time as the leaks have come out about the aide memoire, and that involves arrangements that we have with Russia on nuclear technology. We want to get this all out on the table now. We do not want to have a dribbling set of controversies.

First, the executive branch's policy on blocking nuclear technology to Iran is essentially unchanged since 1985. We have opposed the transfer of nuclear technology to Iran, even under international safeguards, because of our concerns about its nuclear weapons ambitions. Iran lacks the technical wherewithal to go it alone on producing nuclear weapons. Since 1992 the key to constraining Iran's nuclear ambition is to deny it for technology, and that technology's principal source since 1992, our principal area of concern, is Russia.

The collapse of the Soviet Union deprived Russia and its massive nuclear industry of its entire foreign market and a significant fraction of its previous domestic market. Economic imperatives drove Russia to market its nuclear technology in places where it did not face Western competition. As a result, Iran became one of the areas that the Russian nuclear industry became interested in.

It concluded a nuclear cooperation agreement with Iran in 1992. In 1994 the Russians and Iranians announced their intention to finish a power reactor that had initially been started by the Germans in Iran. It is called the Bushehr reactor because of its location. We were and are opposed to that reactor; we were opposed to it at the time. It is not because we thought the reactor itself under safeguards was a proliferation threat, but because the Bushehr project could be used by Iran as a cover for engaging in more sensitive forms of cooperation with more direct links to nuclear weapons.

This agreement between Russia and Iran contained other provisions for additional power reactors and other technology far more significant for Iran's nuclear weapons ambition. We know that elements of the Russian Government were considering the transfer of centrifuge uranium enrichment technology that would permit the production of highly enriched uranium, and they were interested in providing a powerful research reactor sufficient to produce plutonium for nuclear weapons. We knew there were plans for other key technologies.

This package put together would have greatly advanced Iran's ability to go for the full nuclear fuel cycle. The Clinton administration embarked at the beginning of 1995 and in 1994 on a high-level diplomatic campaign to halt this project. Following a series of exchanges between the President and President Yeltsin, the Russians agreed to scale back their cooperation with Iran very significantly in 1995.

President Yeltsin first agreed not to supply a powerful natural uranium-fueled research reactor. He subsequently agreed not to supply Iran with any technology that would put at risk the international nonproliferation regime. This included the supply of uranium enrichment technology or the supply of reactors suited for the production of plutonium.

The culmination of this difficult diplomatic campaign was the letter from Prime Minister Chernomyrdin to Vice President Gore which was cited recently in the press. Much of the substance of the arrangements made were announced in the May summit in Moscow in 1995. This culmination did not give us everything we wanted, but it did eliminate those aspects of cooperation with Iran that presented a clear and present danger to our national security.

Without those limits, the Russian Government could have supplied to Iran hundreds of millions of dollars of sensitive nuclear technology and Iran would be well on the way today to mastering the nuclear fuel cycle.

Mr. Chairman, I will leave for the written testimony in the record the remainder of my oral statement, except to sum up the testimony of Mr. Barker and myself. Russia is key to achieving our objectives both in the conventional and nuclear fields in Iran. We have no alternative but to continue an active strategy of seeking to thwart Iranian efforts to procure the material and technologies they need for their programs.

This is a step by step incremental process. There is no silver bullet. It is going to have to be worked at many levels and worked continuously. We think our policies have been effective. Since the signing of the aide memoire, Russia has not concluded new agreements to export arms to Iran. It has not exported advanced conventional arms to Iran. And in fact, even today it has not completed the original shipments from 1991. Iran's efforts to acquire the types and quantities of arms that would threaten regional stability have been thwarted.

We see a similar story in the nuclear field. We have succeeded in slowing and complicating Iran's programs and driving up their costs. We have closed off many of the world's best sources of advanced technology to Iranian procurement efforts and forced Iran to rely on technologies less sophisticated and reliable than would otherwise be the case. Critically, we have bought time. We have bought time for our process.

I want to conclude my remarks today on a personal note. I have served as a nonproliferation expert for Secretaries of State in administrations of both parties for nearly 20 years. The arrangements discussed here today are manifestly in the interests of the United States and of the effort to halt proliferation. But they have powerful opponents in Moscow. A partisan brawl that drags legitimately classified material into the newspapers as photo insets can only benefit Iran and those forces in Moscow most hostile to our objectives.

If these arrangements are not in place, Iran will be in position to acquire new weapons and a wide array of sensitive nuclear technology. That will not be in the interest of future administrations of either party or of the American people.

Note

[The prepared statement of Messrs. Barker and DeThomas follows:] Prepared Statement of John P. Barker, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Nonproliferation Controls and Joseph M. DeThomas, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Regional Nonproliferation Mr. Chairman, we are here today under difficult and unhappy circumstances. Serious accusations have been leveled. Classified documents are appearing in the press as photo insets, and our negotiating strategy with Russia on sensitive national security matters is being compromised by discussing these matters in public. Anthony Cordesman, a respected and very independent authority on national security matters, and the Near East in particular, has recently summarized the issues we will address today: Political campaigns are a poor time to debate complex military issues, particularly when the debate is based on press reports that are skewed to stress the importance of the story at the expense of objective perspective and the facts. Iran does represent a potential threat to U.S. interests, but it has not had a major conventional arms build-up or received destabilizing transfers of advanced conventional weapons. The violations of U.S. and Russian agreements have been minor, have had little military meaning, and been more technical than substantive.\1\ -

Preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, the means to deliver them, as well as advanced conventional weapons, has been a top foreign policy and national security objective throughout this and previous administrations. Most Western nuclear and arms exporters were by early 1995 in broad agreement on these matters, but Russia was clearly central to success. How to keep the collapse of the Soviet Union from opening up a huge opportunity for Iran to acquire these items by purchase or theft was one of the most complex and challenging problems the Administration confronted as it took office.

We needed to address three separate challenges. First, we had to ensure that political and economic collapse did not open the gates to the loss of control of Russia's expertise, equipment and technology. Second, we had to ensure Russia had the legal and enforcement tools to control its capabilities. But most of all we needed to convince the Russian government that serious and firm constraints on what it exported, and to whom, were critical to Russia's own national and security interests.

The Soviet Union had been a primary exporter of conventional arms and nuclear technology, but the end of the Cold War deprived it of its foreign markets, and domestic military requirements were shrinking at the same time. In 1991 and 1992, Russia began to pursue the Iranian conventional arms and nuclear market in earnest. In 1991 Russia concluded a large, multi-year conventional arms contract. In 1992 it concluded a nuclear cooperation agreement with Iran. It is these two agreements -- which predate the Clinton Administration -- that the Administration had to contain and reverse. At the same time, Iran began to try to exploit the economic chaos and a lack of effective regulation to end-run the Russian government even when it did want to block particular transactions.

To achieve these three critical objectives, the Administration has pursued a complex and long-term strategy. We put innovative assistance programs in place to control technology and prevent the "brain drain" of Russian scientists and their expertise to other states. We used diplomacy to build consensus on the importance of restraint in exports and effective controls to implement policy. We provided training and advice on sound export controls. Most important of all, we engaged all levels of the Russian government repeatedly and relentlessly to persuade them to walk back from arrangements with Tehran that were threatening not only to our security, but in the end to Russia's own interests. Where necessary, we used the threat of sanctions, and on occasion we imposed sanctions. This is not a strategy of immediate gratification.

We have substantially constrained the types and quantities of conventional military equipment Iran is able to obtain. And we have slowed Iran's acquisition of WMD and delivery systems. Let me give you a one sentence summary of what we achieved: Russia promised that it would not conclude new contracts for conventional weapons to Iran and it agreed not to provide to Iran most of the nuclear technology -- including all the most dangerous types of that technology -- that it was proposing to sell. One measure of our success in restraining Russian export behavior might be the many complaints from Russians directly, and in the Russian press, that Russia has lost billions of dollars of conventional arms sales to Iran, and hundreds of millions of dollars of sensitive nuclear technology sales, due specifically to our efforts. We know that these understandings were a good deal for the U.S., in part because of the Russian media commentators and politicians who argue that they are not in Russia's interests.

We will discuss in detail the efforts we made on the conventional and nuclear front, but first we want to address headon the accusations that have been circulating. The first accusation is that we kept these actions secret from you and the public. That is incorrect. Our actions both in the conventional field and the nuclear field in 1995 were discussed publicly at the May Moscow summit in extensive detail, as was the fact that the Vice President and Russian Prime Minister Chernomyrdin would resolve the details. That understanding between the Vice President and Russian Prime Minister Chernomyrdin on conventional arms was announced publicly in a fact sheet, also widely distributed, immediately after the June 1995 Gore-Chernomyrdin Commission meeting. The understandings the Vice President reached in 1995 on both nuclear and conventional matters were briefed to Congress. Of course, certain sensitive documents were classified, and were closely held in the Executive Branch. This is the common practice for all Administrations on very sensitive diplomatic negotiations, but the thrust of those documents has been conveyed to both Congress and the American people.

The second accusation is that we reached a deal with Moscow to evade our own law. This is not true. We agreed to provide assurances that we would take "appropriate steps" to avoid penalties on transfers in the pipeline, but only after careful review to ensure that they did not in fact trigger mandatory sanctions under the Iran-Iraq Arms Nonproliferation Act or other potentially applicable laws. We will be prepared to discuss this in considerable detail, but it is important to state in this open session that the conclusion of non- sanctionability was reached only after careful review and detailed analysis by the State Department, the intelligence community, the Defense Department, and senior levels of the Joint Staff.

Some have cited a sentence in a recently leaked classified letter of the Secretary of State as being inconsistent with this statement. The fact is that Secretary Albright's letter was intended to deliver a stern warning that failure to abide by the restrictions embodied in the Aide Memoire regarding arms sales to Iran could have serious consequences, including the possibility of sanctions. Her letter did not go into the nuances of U.S. sanctions law. We can address this issue in detail in closed session.

The third accusation is that understandings we reached with the Russians should have been formally submitted to Congress under the Case Act because, it is alleged, they are legally binding. We did discuss with Russia whether to negotiate an agreement that would be binding under international law, and after consulting agreed instead to address these matters in an understanding, a political promise by Russia documented first in a public joint statement. This understanding was elaborated in more detail in the Aide Memoire. Under this understanding, Russia has not concluded new contracts for new weapons. It has not even delivered all the weapons it said it would. It has certainly foregone billions in sales.

While important elements of our diplomatic efforts have required confidentiality, key to our success has been the fact that we have engaged Russia's leadership at the most senior levels to make authoritative and public statements. Key commitments were made in joint statements or press conferences after Summits between Presidents Clinton and Yeltsin in 1994 and 1995. Additional Russian commitments were articulated in public at the conclusion of meetings between Vice President Gore and Prime Minister Chernomyrdin.

While the substance of these understandings has been public since 1995, some details were kept confidential. Confidentiality is crucial to many diplomatic negotiations. The diplomatic process on conventional arms transfers has fortunately not come to a halt because of recent leaks. But playing this out in the press can only have a chilling effect on our ability to continue the process, and could seriously undermine the U.S. national security interests that are at stake in these discussions.

The understanding that the U.S. reached with Russia in 1995 to limit the sale of conventional weapons to Iran was an important gain for U.S. security, as well as for our friends and allies. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 led to the rapid opening of new markets for conventional arms. Russia was quick to sign a contract with Iran for the sale of a broad range of conventional arms. This Administration inherited the situation of an expanding arms relationship between Russia and Iran. The question was how to constrain it.

The 1992 Iran-Iraq Arms Nonproliferation Act urged the President to "urgently seek the agreement of other nations" to constrain arms sales to Iran and Iraq. We did just that, securing important commitments from all countries that joined the Wassenaar Arrangement. They agreed not to supply arms and related technologies to "countries of concern," understood to include Iran, Iraq, Libya and North Korea.

Our ability to hold these other major supplier states to these commitments has always depended on maintaining a united front. If one key supplier were to resume sales to Iran, it could be difficult to persuade others to continue foregoing these highly lucrative sales. It was with this in mind that we sought the commitment of Russia to curtail arms sales to Iran.

During their September 1994 Summit, Presidents Yeltsin and Clinton reached an understanding that Russia would not undertake new contracts or other agreements to transfer conventional arms to Iran, but that existing contracts could be fulfilled. President Yeltsin announced this understanding publicly. This matter was again on the agenda for the May 1995 Summit, and the subject of public discussion even before the Summit. In a pre-Summit press briefing, Secretary of State Christopher expressed hope that Russia would join the new multilateral regime to control exports of conventional weapons and related dual-use technologies, stating that "the only thing that stands between Russia joining . . . is working out the arrangements with respect to their sales to Iran, those negotiations are going forward." Secretary of Defense Perry, when asked about whether Russia's arms sales to Iran were a reason for alarm, spoke first of the submarines, noting that two had been delivered and one remained to be delivered, and then spoke to the more general issue: We do not see cause for concern on the level and the nature of conventional arms being transferred. We would prefer they not be transferred, but we're -- quite satisfied with the agreement not to continue transfer. The Russians have a very, very substantial capability in conventional arms and conventional arms technology. And it would give us a very substantial problem if they were to make a free transfer of those to the Iranians. So I'd like to focus on the positive side of that, which is their agreement to cut that off after those present contracts. The May 1995 Summit resolved the outstanding issues, and a Joint Statement dated May 10, 1995 reaffirmed that Russia would "undertake no new contracts or other agreements to transfer arms to Iran. This commitment is comprehensive and covers both arms and associated items." The Joint Statement also reaffirmed U.S. support for Russia's participation as a founding member in a new international export control regime for the control of arms and sensitive dual-use goods and technologies. It was also announced that same day that the Presidents had asked Vice President Gore and Prime Minister Chernomyrdin "to record the details in an agreement no later than their meeting in June." The Aide Memoire recording those understandings was signed the following month.

The U.S. had little direct leverage; we were essentially asking Russia to forego billions of dollars in arms sales in exchange for membership in a multilateral group that would only further constrain their arms sales. But we worked with the leverage that we did have, and through the dogged determination of our senior officials, Russia agreed to close out its existing contracts within a few years and agreed not to sign new contracts for the sale of arms to Iran. Had not the U.S. secured this commitment, Russia would have been free to provide Iran with advanced conventional arms, and greater overall quantities of conventional arms. It would have been able to sell Iran items such as surface-to-air missiles, items we know that the Iranians sought to acquire. Instead we were able to get Russia to commit not to sign any new arms contracts with Iran, thus precluding the sale of weapons that could provide great threats to U.S. forces, to our allies including Israel, and to stability in the region.

Of course we would have preferred to have stopped the sale of all conventional arms to Iran. But this deal precluded the most advanced conventional weapons from reaching Iran -- the very weapons that would have provided the greatest risks to U.S. interests and those of our friends and allies (and the very weapons targeted by the Iran-Iraq Arms Nonproliferation Act).

Much has been made in the press recently about whether the arms covered under the contract signed in 1991 would adversely affect U.S. security. There have also been accusations that the 1995 understanding was not consistent with, or even violated, U.S. sanctions laws, and in particular, that a commitment was made to ignore U.S. sanctions law. A further accusation is that the understandings reached are legally binding obligations, and that all this was kept from Congress. Let me address each of these allegations in turn. Was U.S. Security or Regional Stability Jeopardized?

As a key part of the process to resolve the issues addressed in the Joint Statement and the Aide Memoire, we insisted on an exchange of information on these pre-existing contracts. The impact of all of the arms transferred or to be transferred, including the Kilo submarine, was reviewed by senior military and defense officials, including senior levels of the Joint Staff. It was their judgment that transfers under those pre-existing contracts would not provide Iran with new military capabilities, alter the regional military balance, or compromise the ability of the U.S. and our allies to protect our mutual security interests. They judged that the declared pipeline contained no destabilizing types of advanced conventional weapons. This judgment extended to the third Kilo-class submarine that Russia delivered in 1996. Our military judged that while the submarine represented an added threat to U.S. forces in the Gulf, it was judged to be manageable. As Dr. Perry noted publicly at the time, it was far better to obtain the commitment from Russia to forego future sales of advanced conventional weapons or destabilizing quantities of other types of military equipment.

Both the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House International Relations Committee were informed about the understanding in 1995. Then Deputy Assistant Secretary Robert Einhorn revisited this issue in open testimony June 5, 1997 before this Committee, noting that "Russia informed us that one Kilo-class submarine was expected to be delivered to Iran" and that tanks were also to be delivered under the pre-existing contracts. "Prior to concluding the 1995 agreement we made certain that the contracts in the pipeline . . . did not involve any new weapons systems and would not alter the regional balance or compromise the ability of the U.S. and our allies to protect our mutual interests."

Frankly, these were hard calls -- but we made an informed decision with the best advice available, and with the involvement of our senior military. We judged that we could best protect our security interests by constraining future sales of Russian advanced conventional weapons, rather than not entering into the agreement and watching Russia proceed with sales of the most threatening weapons. Were Sanctions Laws Ignored?

The 1995 understanding was fully consistent with U.S. law. The transfers covered under the Aide Memoire were not sanctionable.

The applicability of U.S. sanctions laws was explicitly addressed within the Executive Branch before we completed the 1995 understanding. After a review of the facts, and with specific input from and concurrence of the Defense Department and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, we concluded that sanctions under the Iran-Iraq act would not be triggered because the items did not meet the definition of "advanced conventional weapons" under the Act, as explained above, nor would the types and quantities of arms to be transferred be destabilizing to the region. These conclusions are supported by the terms of the Act and its legislative history.

In addition, before we concluded the Aide Memoire, State legal counsel reviewed other applicable statutes that govern transfers of lethal military equipment to Iran, and determined that these statutes did not apply to the arms transfers identified under the agreement because the contracts had been entered into before the effective date specified in the legislation.

Some have alleged that the U.S. has not applied the sanctions laws to Russian transfers of conventional arms to Iran. That is not true, and indeed the Committee has been previously informed of this in writing. We can review this for you in detail in a classified setting.

Furthermore, the Aide Memoire does not commit the U.S. not to enforce the sanctions laws, as has been erroneously suggested. The Aide Memoire notes that the United States is prepared to take appropriate steps to avoid any penalties to Russia that might otherwise arise under domestic law with respect to the completion of the transfers disclosed in the Annex for so long as the Russian Federation acts in accordance with these commitments.

The phrase "appropriate steps" in a non-legally binding document clearly would not compel the Executive Branch to ignore domestic law. It was drafted this way specifically to allow us to enforce the law, bearing in mind the Executive Branch in fact had legal means available to "avoid penalties" -- the waiver provisions in both of the potentially applicable statutes. As noted above, we have never had to take any steps pursuant to this pledge, for after reviewing the list of transfers that would be grand-fathered, we determined (before signing the Aide Memoire) that then existing sanctions laws would not be triggered by the transfers.

Secretary Albright's January letter to Foreign Minister Ivanov is entirely consistent with the purposes of the Aide Memoire and the Iran- Iraq Act. Secretary Albright delivered a stern warning that failure to abide by the restrictions embodied in the Aide Memoire regarding arms sales to Iran could have serious consequences, including the possibility of sanctions. In that letter, we were still seeking clarifications from the Russians regarding the numbers and types of transfers that they wished to continue beyond the December 31, 1999 deadline. At the time of the letter, those clarifications had not yet been received. Because it was essential that the U.S. obtain this information, we felt that it was appropriate to stress the maximum consequences they might face, depending on further disclosures about Russian export activity. A variety of discretionary sanctions were available to us under legal authorities other than the Iran-Iraq Arms Nonproliferation Act and the lethal military equipment laws, (e.g., cutting off licenses under the Arms Export Control Act).

We felt this approach would be most effective in persuading the Russians to provide the needed information. And, indeed, this approach succeeded in obtaining a reaffirmation of the Russian commitment to limit the scope of the conventional weapons transfers to those items covered by the Aide Memoire.

It has always been the case that the transfers subject to the Aide Memoire do not trigger U.S. sanctions laws. That was our conclusion in 1995, and it has never changed.

Any transfers that are outside of the scope of the Aide Memoire could of course trigger the sanctions laws, including the Iran-Iraq Arms Nonproliferation Act and the lethal military equipment laws. We continue to monitor this closely, and we will apply the law to Russia, as we have in the past, if Russia completes transactions that trigger sanctions. Did We Make Legally-Binding Commitments?

As indicated in public statements from that period, we were prepared in 1994 to enter into a formal agreement providing legally binding commitments. After consulting with Russia on how to reflect our discussions, we instead chose to proceed with political statements and understandings. Insisting on a formal legal approach would not have furthered our purpose to stop Russia from signing new arms contracts with Iran, nor would it have prevented Russia from making sales that were significant threats to U.S. interests and U.S. security.

The 1995 Summit statements were clearly political undertakings made by each side. The 1995 Aide Memoire recorded details of those political undertakings.

Contrary to speculation in the press, a document is not legally binding solely because it deals with an important matter and there are commitments made by both sides. The two sides must intend for the document to be legally binding. That was not the case here -- as amply demonstrated in the text and the negotiating record. Was Congress Informed of These Understandings?

At no time did we attempt to keep the substance or existence of these understandings hidden from Congress. They were the subject of White House press conferences both before and after the 1995 Summit, and the subject of a Joint Statement from the Summit.

We also briefed Congress on these understandings and accomplishments. The House International Relations Committee staff was briefed in July, 1995. Certain interested House Members, including Chairman Gilman, were briefed in August, 1995. As the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has noted, it was briefed in mid-1995. And the understandings were recounted in open public testimony before Senate committees several times, including twice in 1997.

The Executive Branch's policy on blocking nuclear cooperation with Iran is essentially unchanged since 1985. We have opposed the transfer of nuclear technology to Iran even under international safeguards, because of our concerns about its nuclear weapon ambitions. Iran has lacked the technical wherewithal to succeed in producing nuclear weapons. Key to constraining Iran's nuclear ambition is to deny it foreign technology. Since 1992, the greatest challenge to that policy has been from Russia.

The collapse of the Soviet Union deprived Russia's massive nuclear industry of its entire foreign market and a significant fraction of its previous domestic market. Economic imperatives drove Russia to market its nuclear technology in places where it did not face Western competition. As a result of the successful informal international embargo on nuclear transfers to Iran that we had crafted, Iran was such a market.

Based on an agreement concluded in 1992, the Russians and Iranians announced in 1994 and early 1995 their intentions to finish a power reactor originally started by the Germans in Bushehr. We were and still are opposed to this reactor, not because we believe such a light-water power reactor under International Atomic Energy Agency Safeguards itself poses a serious proliferation threat, but because of our concern that the Bushehr project would be used by Iran as a cover for maintaining wide-ranging contacts with Russian nuclear entities and for engaging in more sensitive forms of cooperation with more direct applicability to a nuclear weapons program.

This agreement between Russia and Iran also contained provisions for additional power reactors, as well as other technology far more significant for Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions. We know that elements of the Russian govermnent were considering the transfer of centrifuge enrichment technology that would permit production of highly-enriched uranium, and a research reactor of sufficient power to produce plutonium for nuclear weapons. We knew there were plans to supply other key nuclear technologies. Altogether, this package of items would have greatly advanced Iran's ability to produce nuclear weapons usable material.

The Clinton Administration embarked on a high-level diplomatic campaign to halt this project. Following a series of exchanges between the President and President Yeltsin, the Russians agreed to scale back their cooperation with Iran very significantly in 1995. The results of that effort were reported in The Nonproliferation Primer -- A Majority Report of the Subcommittee on International Security, Proliferation, and Federal Services of the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs: Although Moscow was unwilling to cancel the Bushehr project, in 1995 the Administration did persuade President Yeltsin to limit the scope of Russian nuclear assistance. Yeltsin approved the sale of nuclear reactors, but ordered Russia's Ministry of Atomic Energy to drop plans to provide equipment and advice to Iran's effort to mine uranium ore and process it to use as reactor fuel -- assistance that would have given Iran an independent source of fissile material for nuclear weapons. (p. 18) In fact, President Yeltsin agreed not to supply Iran with any technology that would put at risk the international nonproliferation regime. This included the supply of uranium enrichment technology or the supply of reactors suited for the production of plutonium. The culmination of this difficult diplomatic campaign was the letter from Prime Minister Chernomyrdin to Vice President Gore. That letter codified the limits Russia would impose on itself in cooperating with Iran. Much of the substance was briefed to the press before and especially after the May 1995 Moscow Summit. That substance has been described to Congress through open testimony and a series of classified briefings.

It did not give us everything we wanted, but it did eliminate those aspects of cooperation with Iran that presented a clear and present danger to our national security. Without the limits the Russian government did impose, Iran today would have received hundreds of millions of dollars worth of sensitive nuclear technology and would be well on the way to mastering the nuclear fuel cycle.

It is not a secret agreement hidden from Congress. The text of the letter was and is classified, just as have been many other confidential exchanges undertaken by this and past Administrations. This was a highly sensitive diplomatic negotiation and publicity could well have brought it down. The letter is still classified. We cannot discuss its contents in detail in an open session.

We want to be clear on a critical point. Confidentiality is crucial to many diplomatic negotiations. The diplomatic process on these matters fortunately has not come to a halt because of recent leaks. But playing this out in the press can only have a chilling effect on our ability to continue the process, and could seriously undermine the U.S. national security interests that are at stake in these discussions.

There is in fact a sentence in a letter -- quoted in the press -- that indicates the Russians did not want us to brief Congress. That sentence had no effect. We informed the Russians before the letter was sent that we would brief Congress, and we informed the Russians immediately upon its receipt that we would brief the matter to Congress. The Russians accepted this. We agreed that we would do this in a confidential manner as we do for many sensitive negotiations. Briefings were offered to key Senate and House Members in the spring of 1996. Representatives of the National Security Council, the Office of the Vice President and the Department of State did the briefings. Subsequently, we have updated this Committee and others on the state-of-play of our efforts, both in open testimony and in classified briefings.

The Administration did not give up its opposition to the Bushehr reactor. We still oppose it. Our actions in persuading other countries not to participate in the project have slowed it down. But only a decision by the Russian government could stop it. The Russian government has not been prepared to give up the reactor project, at least in part because of its big price tag.

The Administration has not turned a blind eye to Russian activities. Recently Russian entities -- some of them associated with the Ministry of Atomic Energy -- have pursued cooperation with Iran that is not consistent with the Chernomyrdin assurances. We sanctioned two Russian entities in January of 1999 as a result. We have also been unstinting in our day-to-day diplomacy with the Russians to block any transfers. The Administration has made a major effort over the past few months to bring Russian behavior back into line with the assurance. We cannot report complete success, but last month the Russians did suspend the activities of an institute in St. Petersburg that planned to transfer equipment related to a sophisticated means of uranium enrichment.

I do not want to downplay the current problems we are facing on the nuclear front, but they are considerably less than what we would be facing today without the Chernomyrdin assurance. Faced with the choice of pursuing this at times frustrating diplomatic effort and the alternative of unconstrained Russian assistance to Iran, we would choose the former.

I want to conclude my remarks on a personal note. I have served as a nonproliferation expert for Secretaries of State and Administrations of both parties for nearly twenty years. The arrangements discussed here today are manifestly in the interests of the United States and of the effort to halt nuclear proliferation. But, they have powerful opponents in Moscow. A partisan brawl that drags legitimately classified material into the newspapers as photo insets can only benefit Iran. If these arrangements are not in place, Iran will be in position to acquire new reactors and a wide array of sensitive nuclear technology. That will not be in the interest of future Administrations of either party or of the American people.

Impeding Iran's WMD and missile delivery systems will remain at the top of the U.S. national security agenda. Ensuring that Iran does not acquire destabilizing types and quantities of advanced conventional weapons is also critical.

Russia is key to both those objectives. We have no alternative but to continue an active strategy of seeking to thwart Iranian efforts to procure the material and technologies they need for their non- conventional programs. That means engaging Russia directly and actively; working with them to strengthen resolve; assisting them in strengthening export control laws and regulations; and helping to make the implementation of those policies, laws, and regulations more effective. This is a step-by-step, incremental process. There is no silver bullet, it is a problem that must be worked at many levels, from many directions, and worked continuously.

By any reasonable standard, our policies have been effective. Since the signing of the Aide Memoire, Russia has not concluded new agreements to export arms to Iran, it has not exported advanced conventional arms to Iran, and in fact it has not even to date completed shipments under the original 1991 agreement. Iran's efforts to acquire the types and quantities of arms that would threaten regional stability have been thwarted.

On the nuclear and missile programs, we see a similar story. We have succeeded in slowing and complicating Iran's programs and driving up their costs. We have closed off many of the world's best sources of advanced technology to Iranian procurement efforts, and forced Iran to rely on technologies less sophisticated and reliable than would otherwise be the case. And critically, we have bought additional time. As Assistant Secretary for Nonproliferation Robert Einhorn testified before this Committee just last month: despite the gains Iran has made, we do not consider it inevitable that Iran will acquire nuclear weapons deliverable by long-range missiles.

But avoiding that highly destabilizing outcome, or the threat of advanced conventional weapons in the region, will require continued leadership by the United States and the concerted efforts of the international community, including the active commitment and cooperation of Russia. We have made important steps. This will continue to be a key national security priority for this Administration, and we will leave a vastly different situation than would have been the case had we failed to limit Russia's nuclear and conventional arms exports to Iran.

Mr. Chairman, before you go into closed session, I am not going to ask a question. I would like to ask us a question, if I may. If I understand it correctly, the two questions that we are attempting to answer, get an answer to, are: One, whether or not this administration made a legally binding agreement with the Russians that under American law would require the administration to have fully informed the Congress of the nature and the detailed agreement. That is one question, correct?

Well, no, I want to make sure that we are laying out as well -- we are having this hearing to get what is the deal.

So that we can understand what that was, what it was in writing. There is a question about whether this should have been submitted under Case-Zablocki --

I got that. So we are in agreement on the first score. The first score is that, did the administration violate U.S. law that requires any administration to submit to the U.S. Congress the details of any legally binding agreement that would amount to an executive agreement or amount to a binding legal agreement. That is the first question.

The second question is whether or not -- whatever the answer to that is, the second question is were there transfers made to Iran that would have violated -- that did violate U.S. law sanction policy, requiring the administration to sanction Russia for having made the transfers. That is the second question, correct?

I got that, I got that. But if the agreement is not a legally binding agreement under the terms of Case- Zablocki, then there is no requirement to submit it to us, No. 1. Even though we may want to know it, there is no requirement to submit it to us.

No. 2, if the transfers that were made within the timeframe we are talking about here did not violate sanctions law of the U.S. Congress, then no assertion, whatever it was, was of any relevance here made by the administration. You either violate the law or you are not violating the law in the transfer.

So they are the two questions that we should be looking at here. I just want to make sure we do not -- then if we want to look at other things that do not relate to any violation -- I assume this is so urgent to have this hearing 13 or 12 or 10 days or 9 days before the election is because there is the assertion that there was a violation of U.S. law, not whether the judgment was right or judgment was wrong about whether we should have done what we have done: Was there a violation of U.S. law, because if there was not then we should be holding hearings on judgments about what each of the candidates say about foreign policy. That is a different deal. I just want to make sure we know what we are looking at here.

Senator Biden, what I have heard today are a number of assertions that they are certainly free to make, but which are not supported by the intelligence information I have seen. If they have other information that they can show us that will substantiate what has been asserted, then that is what I am after.

I am not suggesting anything about who made the assertions. I just want to make sure we know what we are looking at, because this will be used as precedent. I do not want -- if there were no assertions of a violation of U.S. law, then it would not be a very good precedent to set to hold 12 days before an election, or however many days it is, a debate in this committee on American foreign policy and what is a good idea and a bad idea.

I just want to say that they have used the words that they "telegraphed" to Congress what it is we are supposed to know. I hope there is a precedent that comes out of this that telegraphing through the media is not enough to comply with U.S. law, that there are other ways in which this is supposed to happen. Those are the words they use.

No, I understand. I will cease with this. I used to, a hundred years ago, practice law and I was one of those people that, they are not very much in vogue these days, a trial lawyer. I actually tried cases. I learned from a guy named Sid Bailick and he used to always say to the jury before it began, heard the opening statement and-or began its deliberations, at either end, he would say: Keep your eye on the ball, keep your eye on the ball. The question is did my client kill Cock Robin, not is he a nice guy, not would you want to take him home for dinner, not would you want your daughter dating him; did he kill Cock Robin?

The question here is did the administration violate the law either in that it signed an agreement requiring under the law submission to the U.S. Congress or, did it violate the law in not imposing sanctions that should have been imposed under U.S. law? That is keeping your eye on the ball.

I want to make sure we get from -- in the closed session, if that is what we are trying to outline here, that we will need to know and to have the documents, the annexes, and what was conveyed from Russia to Iran to be able to make the sort of judgments of the charges that have been put forward here, so that I hope that we can get that all covered and disclosed to us in a private session so we will know those matters to be able to make the judgment on.
