Senate Finance Committee: Iran Sanctions Act of 2008
- Finance Panel to Consider Baucus Iran Sanctions Plan: "Baucus’s Iran sanctions plan reflects a number of elements in S. 970, an Iran sanctions bill on which the Committee held a hearing in April, but is written to ensure that America remains in compliance with World Trade Organization rules and to continue to allow limited sales of agricultural and humanitarian products. The bill strengthens existing U.S. sanctions on Iran by tightening the trade ban on goods to and from Iran, expanding financial sanctions on Iranian persons who are subject to U.S. sanctions, and closing loopholes through which U.S. companies establish foreign subsidiaries just to invest in Iran."
