including, as appropriate, for approval, disapproval, or no
action on statutory sanctions relief under an agreement; and
``(E) even though the agreement may commence, because the
sanctions regime was imposed by Congress and only Congress
can permanently modify or eliminate that regime, it is
critically important that Congress have the opportunity, in
an orderly and deliberative manner, to consider and, as
appropriate, take action affecting the statutory sanctions
regime imposed by Congress.
``(2) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, action involving any measure of statutory sanctions
relief by the United States pursuant to an agreement subject
to subsection (a) or the Joint Plan of Action--

review provided in subsection (b), the Congress adopts, and
there is enacted, a joint resolution stating in substance
that the Congress does favor the agreement;

provided in subsection (b), the Congress adopts, and there is
enacted, a joint resolution stating in substance that the
Congress does not favor the agreement; or

requirements for such action, if, following the period for
review provided in subsection (b), there is not enacted any
such joint resolution.

relief by the United States'' shall include waiver,
