4 SEC. 211. STRATEGY FOR COOPERATION ON INTER5 MEDIATE-RANGE MISSILE LAUNCHERS AND 

6 SYSTEMS TO NATO ALLIES. 

7 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

8 (1) All NATO allies agree that the SSC–8/ 

9 9M729 missile system developed and deployed by the 

10 Government of Russia violated the Intermediate11 Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (in this section re12 ferred to as the ‘‘INF Treaty’’), while posing a sig13 nificant risk to NATO security. 

14 (2) Despite NATO allies’ repeated calls on the 

15 Government of Russia to return to full and verifiable 

16 compliance with the INF Treaty, Russia continued 

17 to develop and deploy INF Treaty-violating systems, 

18 which led to the INF Treaty’s demise on August 2, 

19 2019. 

20 (3) As of the INF Treaty’s demise, Russia had 

21 produced and deployed multiple battalions of INF 

22 Treaty-violating missiles, capable of reaching key 

23 European capitals and targets. 

24 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—A mutual deployment 

25 moratorium in the European theater with the Russian 


pbinns on DSKJLVW7X2PROD with BILLS
75 

•HR 6742 IH

1 Federation is not in the interest of the United States. 

2 Even if a European-Theater intermediate-range ground3 launched missile deployment moratorium were verifiable, 

4 any such moratorium would significantly advantage Rus5 sia and disadvantage NATO. This is due to the Russian 

6 Federation’s continual threats of aggression against sov7 ereign European nations, the relative ease by which Russia 

8 could deploy such systems to the theater, and the logistical 

9 impediments with which the United States and NATO 

10 would have to contend should it be determined a commen11 surate response was warranted. 

12 (c) STRATEGY.—Not later than 90 days after the 

13 date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense 

14 and the Secretary of State shall jointly develop and submit 

15 to the appropriate committees of Congress a strategy to 

16 cooperate with willing NATO member countries in the 

17 joint research, development, training and possible transfer 

18 of conventional intermediate-range ground-launched mis19 siles, associated launchers and support equipment, and as20 sociated technology. 

21 (d) APPROPRIATE COMMITTEES OF CONGRESS DE22 FINED.—In this section, the term ‘‘appropriate commit23 tees of Congress’’ means—
