(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Adopted in Lisbon in November 2010, the new North

declares that ‘‘[a]ll countries are increasingly reliant on the 
vital communication, transport and transit routes on which 
international trade, energy security and prosperity depend. 
They require greater international efforts to ensure their resil-
ience against attack or disruption. Some NATO countries will 
become more dependent on foreign energy suppliers and in
H. R. 1540—340 
some cases, on foreign energy supply and distribution networks 
for their energy needs. As a larger share of world consumption 
is transported across the globe, energy supplies are increasingly 
exposed to disruption.’’. 
(2) The new NATO Strategic Concept further declares that, 
‘‘to deter and defend against any threat to the safety and 
security of our populations’’, the NATO alliance will, ‘‘develop 
the capacity to contribute to energy security, including protec-
tion of critical energy infrastructure and transit areas and 
lines, cooperation with partners, and consultations among Allies 
on the basis of strategic assessments and contingency plan-
ning.’’.

at the reduction of Russian deployed and non-deployed non- 
strategic nuclear weapons and increased transparency of such 
weapons; and 
(2) for purposes of such negotiations— 
(A) non-strategic nuclear weapons should be considered 
when weighing the balance of the nuclear forces of the 
United States and Russia; and
H. R. 1540—345

ized storage of non-strategic nuclear weapons by Russia

DETERRENCE
COMMITMENT
TO 
EUROPE.—It is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) the commitment of the United States to extended deter-
rence in Europe and the nuclear alliance of the North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization (NATO) is an important component of 
ensuring and linking the national security of the United States 
and its European allies; 
(2) nuclear forces of the United States are a key component 
of the NATO nuclear alliance; and 
(3) the presence of United States nuclear weapons in 
Europe—combined with NATO’s unique nuclear sharing 
arrangements under which non-nuclear members participate 
in nuclear planning and possess specially configured aircraft 
capable of delivering nuclear weapons—provides reassurance 
to NATO allies who feel exposed to regional threats.
