This event is the eighth and final

Commission will hold during its 2006
report cycle to collect input from
leading experts in academia, business,
industry, government and the public on
the impact of the economic and national
security implications of the U.S.
growing bilateral relationship with
China. The September 14, 2006, hearing
is being conducted to obtain
commentary about the economic and

Chinese proliferation practices and its
role in the North Korean and Iranian
nuclear program, and the impact of
these issues on U.S. security interests.
In particular, the hearing will examine
China’s involvement in the North
Korean and Iranian nuclear situations
and the role it is, or should be, playing
to resolve the current crises. Information
on hearings, as well as transcripts of
past Commission hearings, can be
obtained from the USCC Web site
https://www.uscc.gov.
This hearing will address ‘‘China’s
Proliferation to North Korea and Iran,

and Missile Situations in Both Nations’’
and will be co-chaired by
Commissioners Daniel Blumenthal and
William Reinsch.
Purpose of Hearing
The hearing is designed to assist the
Commission in fulfilling its mandate by
examining China’s proliferation
activities, transfers of WMD technology
by Chinese entities to Iran, North Korea

North Korea.
