Mr. PAUL. Madam Speaker, I yield myself 1 minute before I yield to the
gentleman from Iowa.
2006 Ron Paul 29:2
I want to quote from Article IV of the NonProliferation Treaty of which
Iran is a signator:
Nothing in this
Treaty shall be interpreted as affecting
the inalienable right of all the Parties
to the Treaty to develop research, production,
and use of nuclear energy for
peaceful purposes without discrimination.
2006 Ron Paul 29:3
Our position is that they do not have the right to enrich. Those who deny the
right to enrich are more in violation of
the NPT Treaty than Iran itself.
2006 Ron Paul 29:4
What do we do for those who are totally in defiance to international law
in the NPT Treaty, like India and
Pakistan? We reward them and subsidize
them. At the same time, there is
no proof that there has been any violation
of this treaty by Iran, and yet the
rewards go to those who are in total
defiance.
2006 Ron Paul 29:5
Madam Speaker, I would yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Iowa (Mr.
LEACH).
