the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2002 (Public Law 107–107; 115 Stat. 1366) is repealed. 
(b) REMOVAL OF REPORT REQUIREMENT FOR NON-
PROLIFERATION INITIATIVE PROGRAM.—Paragraph (6) of 
section 4302(a) of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 
U.S.C. 2562) is amended to read as follows: 
‘‘(6) Funds appropriated for the Initiatives for Pro-
liferation Prevention program may not be used to pay any 
tax or customs duty levied by the government of the Rus-
sian Federation. In the event payment of such a tax or 
customs duty with such funds is unavoidable, the Sec-
retary of Energy shall ensure that sufficient additional 
funds are provided to the Initiatives for Proliferation Pre-
vention Program to offset the amount of such payment.’’. 
SEC. 3122. PROGRESS ON NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION. 
(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) the spread of nuclear and radiological weap-
ons, or weapons-usable material, technology, equip-
ment, information, and expertise, poses a short- and 
long-term threat to the security of the United 
States; and 
(2) the nonproliferation efforts of the United 
States should prioritize the programs which most di-
rectly address such threat.
