TIVE THREAT REDUCTION.
(a) LIMITATION.—Of the funds available under title II
under the heading ‘‘FORMER SOVIET UNION THREAT RE-
DUCTION’’ for dismantlement and destruction of chemical

HR 2126 EAS
posal of Russia to neutralize its chemical weapons
and the United States agrees with the proposal.

with the assistance of the United States as necessary,
a comprehensive plan to manage the dismantlement
and destruction of the Russia chemical weapons stock-
pile.
(3) That the United States and Russia are com-
mitted to resolving outstanding issues under the 1989
Wyoming Memorandum of Understanding and the
1990 Bilateral Destruction Agreement.
(b) DEFINITIONS.—In this section:
(1) The term ‘‘1989 Wyoming Memorandum of
Understanding’’ means the Memorandum of Under-
standing between the Government of the United States

SEC. 8100. SENSE OF SENATE REGARDING UNDERGROUND
NUCLEAR TESTING.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Senate makes the following find-
ings:
(1) The President of France stated on June 13,
1995, that the Republic of France plans to conduct
eight nuclear test explosions over the next several
months.
(2) The People’s Republic of China continues to
conduct underground nuclear weapons tests.
(3) The United States, France, Russia, and
Great Britain have observed a moratorium on nuclear
testing since 1992.
(4) A resumption of testing by the Republic of
France could result in the disintegration of the cur-
rent testing moratorium and a renewal of under-
ground testing by other nuclear weapon states.
(5) A resumption of nuclear testing by the Re-
public of France raises serious environmental and
health concerns.
(6) The United Nations Conference on Disar-
mament presently is meeting in Geneva, Switzerland,
for the purpose of negotiating a Comprehensive Nu-
HR 2126 EAS
clear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), which would halt per-
manently the practice of conducting nuclear test ex-
plosions.
(7) Continued underground weapons testing by
the Republic of France and the People’s Republic of
China undermines the efforts of the international
community to conclude a CTBT by 1996, a goal en-
dorsed by 175 nations, at the recently completed NPT
Extension and Review Conference (the conference for
the extension and review of the Nuclear Non-Pro-
liferation Treaty).
(b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Sen-
ate that the Republic of France and the People’s Republic
of China should abide by the current international morato-
rium on nuclear test explosions and refrain from conduct-
ing underground nuclear tests in advance of a Comprehen-
sive Test Ban Treaty.

paragraph (1) shall include in the annual reports to Con-
gress of such officials an assessment of the extent to which
