Trent Lott: “This does have to do with the Iran sanctions. We are still very much concerned that Russian companies are providing…”

On the recordApril 3, 1998
This does have to do with the Iran sanctions. We are still very much concerned that Russian companies are providing technology to Iran that could be used in very dangerous ways. The administration has been working with Russia to try to address this problem, but sufficient progress has not been made. The Senate cannot in good conscience allow this resolution to pend indefinitely without it being useless, so we are trying to set a time certain so that we can see if progress is being made. If not, the Senate should act.
