Relations 
SEC. 3631. COMPREHENSIVE INVENTORIES AND DATA EX-
CHANGES ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS-GRADE MA-
TERIAL AND NUCLEAR WEAPONS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that inventories of 
nuclear weapons-grade material and nuclear weapons 
should be tracked in order, among other things—
(1) to make it more likely that the Russian 
Federation can fully account for its entire inventory 
of nuclear weapons-grade material and nuclear 
weapons; and 
(2) to make it more likely that the sources of 
any such material or weapons possessed or used by 
any foreign state or terrorist organization can be 
identified. 
(b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—To the extent that the 
President considers prudent, it is the policy of the United 
States to seek to establish jointly with the Russian Fed-
eration comprehensive inventories and data exchanges of 
Russian Federation and United States nuclear weapons-
grade material and nuclear weapons, with particular at-
tention to tactical warheads and warheads that are no 
longer operationally deployed.
712
HR 1588 RDS 
(c) ASSISTANCE IN DEVELOPING COMPREHENSIVE 
INVENTORIES.—Notwithstanding any other provision of 
law, the United States should seek to work with the Rus-
sian Federation to develop comprehensive inventories of 
Russian highly enriched uranium, weapons-grade pluto-
nium, and assembled warheads, with special attention to 
be focused on tactical warheads and warheads that are 
no longer operationally deployed. 
(d) DATA EXCHANGES.—As part of the development 
of inventories under subsection (c), to the maximum ex-
tent practicable and without jeopardizing United States 
national security interests, the United States may ex-
change data with the Russian Federation on categories of 
material and weapons described in subsection (c). 
(e) REPORT.—Not later than 12 months after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter 
until a comprehensive inventory is created and the infor-
mation collected from the inventory is exchanged between 
the United States and the Russian Federation, the Presi-
dent shall submit to Congress a report, in both classified 
and unclassified form as necessary, describing the 
progress that has been made toward creating an inventory 
and exchanging the information.

SEC. 3633. JOINT UNITED STATES/NORTH ATLANTIC TREA-
TY ORGANIZATION COOPERATION WITH RUS-
SIA ON THEATER-LEVEL BALLISTIC MISSILE 
DEFENSES. 
(a) POLICY.—It is the policy of the United States 
that the President should seek to ensure that the United 
States takes the lead in arranging for the United States, 
in conjunction with the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion, to enter into appropriate cooperative relationships 
with the Russian Federation with respect to the develop-
ment and deployment of theater-level ballistic missile de-
fenses. 
(b) PURPOSE OF COOPERATIVE RELATIONSHIPS.—It 
is the policy of the United States—
(1) that the purpose of the cooperative relation-
ships described in subsection (a) is to increase trans-

operation with the Russian Federation should con-
tribute to defining a new bilateral strategic frame-
work that is not rooted in the concept of ‘‘mutual 
assured destruction’’; and

should be based upon improving the security of the 
United States and the Russian Federation by pro-
715

SEC. 3634. ENCOURAGEMENT OF ENHANCED COLLABORA-
TION TO ACHIEVE MORE RELIABLE RUSSIAN 
EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—
(1) the innovative United States-Russian space-
based remote sensor research and development pro-
gram known as the Russian-American Observation 
Satellite (RAMOS) program addresses a variety of 
defense concerns while promoting enhanced trans-
716
HR 1588 RDS 
parency and confidence between the United States 
and the Russian Federation; and 
(2) an initial concept of co-orbiting United 
States and Russian satellites for simultaneous stereo 
observations is complete and should be continued. 
(b) POLICY.—To the exent that the President con-
siders prudent, it is the policy of the United States—
(1) to encourage joint efforts by the United 
States and the Russian Federation to reduce the 
chances of a Russian nuclear attack anywhere in the 
world as the result of misinformation or miscalcula-
tion by developing the capabilities and increasing the 
reliability of Russian ballistic missile early-warning 
systems, including the Russian-American Observa-
tion Satellite (RAMOS) program; and 
(2) to encourage other United States-Russian 
programs to ensure that the Russia Federation has 
reliable information, including real-time data, re-
garding launches of ballistic missiles anywhere in the 
world. 
(c) INTERIM RAMOS FUNDING.—To the extent that 
the Secretary of Defense considers prudent, the Secretary 
of Defense shall ensure that, pending the execution of a
