sions to the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Eu-
rope that may be agreed in the ongoing CFE adaptation
negotiations can enter into force only if those revisions are
specifically approved in a manner described in section
33(b) of the Arms Control and Disarmament Act (22
U.S.C. 2573(b)), and no such approval will be provided
to any revisions to that Treaty that jeopardize fundamen-
tal United States security interests in Europe or the effec-
tiveness and flexibility of NATO as a defensive alliance
by—
(1) extending rights or imposing responsibilities
on new NATO members different from those appli-
cable to current NATO members, including with re-
spect to the deployment of nuclear weapons and the
stationing of troops and equipment from other
NATO members;
(2) limiting the ability of NATO to defend the
territory of new NATO members by, for example, re-
stricting the construction of defense infrastructure
or limiting the ability of NATO to deploy necessary
reinforcements;
(3) providing any international organization, or
any country that is not a member of NATO, with
authority to review, delay, veto, or otherwise impede
deliberations and decisions of the North Atlantic
Council or the implementation of such decisions, in-
cluding with respect to the deployment of NATO
forces or the admission of additional members to
NATO; or
(4) impeding the development of enhanced rela-
tions between NATO and other European countries
that do not belong to the Alliance by, for example,
recognizing spheres of influence in Europe.

cessor state of the Union of Soviet Socialist Repub-
lics that has deployed or realistically may deploy an
anti-ballistic missile defense system) no ABM/TMD
demarcation agreement will be considered for ap-
proval for entry into force with respect to the United

agreement that would reduce the potential of United
States theater missile defense systems to defend the
Armed Forces of the United States abroad or the
armed forces or population of allies of the United
States will be approved for entry into force with re-
spect to the United States (any such approval, as
stated in subsection (b), to be effective only if pro-
vided in a manner described in section 33(b) of the
Arms Control and Disarmament Act (22 U.S.C.
2573(b))).
