Programs

Prevent 
Weapons of Mass Destruction 
Proliferation and Terrorism 
SEC. 1231. FINDINGS; STATEMENT OF POLICY. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress is aware that certain 
United States threat reduction and nonproliferation pro-
grams have in past years encountered obstacles to timely 
obligating and executing the full amount of appropriated 
funds, and that certain United States threat reduction and 
nonproliferation programs currently encounter such obsta-
cles and therefore maintain unobligated and uncosted bal-
ances. Such obstacles include lack of effective policy guid-
ance, limits on program scope, practical inefficiencies, lack 
of cooperation with other countries, and lack of effective 
leadership to overcome such obstacles. 
(b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It shall be the policy 
of the United States, consistent with the 9/11 Commis-
sion’s recommendations, to eliminate the obstacles de-
scribed in subsection (a) with concrete measures, such as 
those described in this title, to accelerate and strengthen 
progress on preventing weapons of mass destruction 
(WMD) proliferation and terrorism. Such measures de-
scribed in this title include the removal and modification 
of statutory limits to executing funds, the expansion and
