So the conference report was agreed

laid on the table.

Ordered, That the Clerk notify the

Senate thereof.

T69.24 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT—

NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT

TO NUCLEAR AND BIOLOGICAL

WEAPONS

The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr.

WALKER, laid before the House a message from the President, which was

read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:

On November 14, 1994, in light of the

dangers of the proliferation of nuclear,

biological, and chemical weapons and

their means of delivery (‘‘weapons of

mass destruction’’), I issued Executive

Order No. 12938 and declared a national

emergency under the International

Emergency Economic Powers Act (50

U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

As I described in the report transmitting Executive Order No. 12938, the new

Executive order consolidated the functions of and revoked Executive Order

No. 12735 of November 16, 1990, which

declared a national emergency with respect to the proliferation of chemical

and biological weapons, and Executive

Order No. 12930 of September 29, 1994,

which declared a national emergency

with respect to nuclear, biological, and

chemical weapons, and their means of

delivery. The new Executive order also

expanded certain existing authorities

in order to strengthen the U.S. ability

to respond to proliferation problems.

The following report is made pursuant to section 204 of the International

Emergency Economic Powers Act and

section 401(c) of the National Emergencies Act regarding activities taken

and money spent pursuant to the emergency declaration. Additional information on nuclear, missile, and/or chemical and biological weapons (CBW) nonproliferation efforts is contained in the

annual report on the proliferation of

missiles and essential components of

nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons, provided to the Congress pursuant

to section 1097 of the National Defense

Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1992

and 1993 (Public Law 102–190), also

known as the ‘‘Nonproliferation Report,’’ and the annual report provided

to the Congress pursuant to section 308

of the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination

Act of 1991 (Public Law 102–182).

The three export control regulations

issued under the Enhanced Proliferation Control Initiative (EPCI) are fully

in force and continue to be used to control the export of items with potential

use in chemical or biological weapons

or unmanned delivery systems for

weapons of mass destruction.

In the 6 months since I issued Executive Order No. 12938, the number of

countries that have ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) has

reached 27 (out of 159 signatory countries). I am urging the Senate to give

its advice and consent to ratification

as soon as possible. The CWC is a critical element of U.S. nonproliferation

policy that will significantly enhance

our security and that of our friends and

allies. I believe that U.S. ratification

will help to encourage the ratification

process in other countries and, ultimately, the CWC’s entry into force.

The United States actively participates in the CWC Preparatory Commission in The Hague, the deliberative

body drafting administrative and implementing procedures for the CWC.

Last month, this body accepted the

U.S. offer of an information management system for the future Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical

Weapons that will implement the CWC.

The United States also is playing a

leading role in developing a training

program for international inspectors.

The United States strongly supports

international efforts to strengthen the

1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BWC). In January 1995, the Ad

Hoc Group mandated by the September

1994 BWC Special Conference to draft a

legally binding instrument to strengthen the effectiveness and improve the

implementation of the BWC held its

first meeting. The Group agreed on a

program of work and schedule of substantive meetings, the first of which

will occur in July 1995. The United

States is pressing for completion of the

Ad Hoc Group’s work and consideration

of the legally binding instrument by

the next BWC Review Conference in

1996.

The United States maintained its active participation in the 29-member

Australia Group (AG), which now includes the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, and Romania. The AG reaffirmed in December the members’

collective belief that full adherence to

the CWC and the BWC provides the

only means to achieve a permanent

global ban on CBW, and that all states

adhering to these Conventions have an

obligation to ensure that their national activities support these goals.

The AG also reiterated its conviction

that harmonized AG export licensing

measures are consistent with, and indeed actively support, the requirement

under Article I of the CWC that States

Parties never assist, in any way, the

manufacture of chemical weapons.

These measures also are consistent

with the undertaking in Article XI of

the CWC to facilitate the fullest possible exchange of chemical materials

and related information for purposes

not prohibited by the Convention, as

they focus solely on preventing assistance to activities banned under the

CWC. Similarly, such efforts also support existing nonproliferation obligations under the BWC.

The United States Government determined that three foreign nationals

(Luciano Moscatelli, Manfred Felber,

and Gerhard Merz) had engaged in

chemical weapons proliferation activities that required the imposition of

sanctions against them, effective on

November 19, 1994. Similar determinations were made against three foreign

companies (Asian Ways Limited,

Mainway International, and Worldco)

effective on February 18, 1995, and imposed sanctions against them. Additional information on these determinations is contained in a classified report

to the Congress, provided pursuant to

the Chemical and Biological Weapons

Control and Warfare Elimination Act

of 1991. The United States Government

continues to monitor closely activities

that may be subject to CBW sanctions

provisions.

The United States continued to control vigilantly U.S. exports that could

make a contribution to unmanned delivery systems for weapons of mass destruction, exercising restraint in considering all such transfers consistent

with the Guidelines of the Missile

Technology Control Regime (MTCR).

The MTCR Partners shared information not only with each other but with

other possible supplier, consumer, and

transshipment states about proliferation problems and also stressed the importance of implementing effective export control systems.

The United States initiated unilateral efforts and coordinated with

MTCR Partners in multilateral efforts,

aimed at combatting missile proliferation by nonmembers and at encouraging nonmembers to adopt responsible

export behavior and to adhere to the

MTCR Guidelines. On October 4, 1994,

the United States and China signed a

Joint Statement on Missile Nonproliferation in which China reiterated
