Prepared Statement by Senator Max Baucus Before the Senate Committee on Finance Hearing: S. 970, the Iran Counter-Proliferation Act of 2007

April 8, 2008

Today, we will address S. 970, the Iran Counter-Proliferation Act of 2007. This bill takes action to achieve the worthy end of a nuclear-free Iran. 

S. 970 seeks this end by tightening and expanding economic sanctions against Iran. And it seeks to deter foreign countries from cooperating with Iran.
