REPORT ON IRAQI DEVELOPMENT OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTOUCTION SEC. 585.

The report shall also— (1) assess the United States view of the International Atomic Energy Agency's action team reports and other IAEA efforts to monitor the extent and nature of Iraq's nuclear program; and (2) include the United States Government's opinion on the value of maintaining the ongoing inspection regime rather than replacing it with a passive monitoring system.
