HRES 1210 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

Summary
This House resolution expresses support for the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) nuclear security role in preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and securing nuclear materials globally. The resolution notes that the IAEA's Office of Nuclear Security relies almost exclusively on voluntary funding, which is unpredictable and inconsistent. The resolution encourages the United States and other IAEA member states to ensure the agency has the resources needed, including supporting nuclear security ministerial meetings, contributing to the Nuclear Security Plan, providing financial support to the Nuclear Security Fund, and developing strategies to attract private sector funding.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 23, 2026
Mr. Foster (for himself, Mr. Beyer, Mr. Castro of Texas, Ms. Norton, Mr. Khanna, Mr. Krishnamoorthi, Mr. Larsen of Washington, Mr. McGovern, Ms. Schakowsky, Ms. Titus, and Mr. Moulton) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives in support of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) nuclear security role.
Whereas the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), created in 1957 for the purpose of assisting countries in the development and use of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, plays a critical role in the global nuclear security regime; Whereas the Agency’s activities in nuclear security date back to the 1970s, when the Agency began providing ad hoc training courses in physical protection; Whereas these responsibilities expanded following the collapse of the former Soviet Union, reports of nuclear smuggling in the late 1990s, and again after the devastating terror attacks on September 11, 2001; Whereas the Agency established the Nuclear Security Fund to assist countries in protecting their nuclear and radiological materials and facilities; Whereas the Agency’s nuclear security efforts are sustained by its technical expertise, experience, transparency, and confidentiality; Whereas rogue regimes and clandestine organizations continue to exhibit the ambition to acquire nuclear materials that can be used to build crude radiological and nuclear weapons; Whereas the IAEA Office of Nuclear Security relies almost exclusively on voluntary funding, which is inherently unpredictable and inconsistent; and Whereas the 2016 Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, DC, issued an Action Plan on April 1, 2016, citing the Agency’s need for “reliable and sufficient resources”: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) maintains that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) plays an indispensable role in strengthening nuclear security and safety around the globe;
(2) reaffirms that the United States has a vital interest in preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and securing nuclear materials; and
(3) encourages the United States and other member states of the IAEA to take steps to ensure that the IAEA has the resources needed to successfully carry out its duties, including—
(A) supporting the IAEA to continue convening ministerial meetings on nuclear security to promote political commitment;
(B) contributing to the implementation of the IAEA’s Nuclear Security Plan through reliable and sufficient resources;
(C) providing appropriate political, technical, and financial support to the Nuclear Security Fund; and
(D) developing a comprehensive strategy to encourage non-state, private sector contributions to the Nuclear Security Fund. <all>
