To prohibit the research and development, production, and deployment of the Trident D5 low-yield nuclear warhead, and for other purposes. 1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Hold the Low-Yield Nuclear Explosive Act Hold the LYNE Act 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The United States has an unparalleled nuclear arsenal, including 1,350 strategic nuclear warheads deployed on intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and strategic bombers. (2) A new low-yield nuclear weapon to be carried on a ballistic missile submarine risks lowering the threshold for nuclear use and increasing the chance of miscalculation that could escalate into all-out nuclear exchange. (3) When launched, such a low-yield nuclear warhead would be indistinguishable to an adversary from the high-yield W76 and W88 submarine-launched warheads. (4) On January 25, 2018, former Secretary of State George Schultz testified before the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate that A nuclear weapon is a nuclear weapon. You use a small one, [and] then you go to a bigger one. I think nuclear weapons are nuclear weapons and we need to draw the line there. (5) Former Senator Sam Nunn and former Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz stated in an op-ed on February 1, 2018, that, The most immediate priority should be to structure and posture U.S. and Russian nuclear forces to deter nuclear use and reduce the risk of an accidental, mistaken or unauthorized launch.

(7) The United States should reject policies that increase the likelihood of nuclear war and weaken national security, including investments in low-yield nuclear weapons. 3. Prohibition on research and development, production, and deployment of Trident D5 low-yield nuclear warhead (a) In general Notwithstanding any other provision of law, none of the funds authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2019 or any fiscal year thereafter for the Department of Defense or the Department of Energy may be obligated or expended for the research and development, production, or deployment of the Trident D5 low-yield nuclear warhead.
