Government Reform
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that rates of compensa-
tion for civilian employees of the United States should
be adjusted at the same time, and in the same propor-
tion, as are rates of compensation for members of the
uniformed services.
Whereas members of the uniformed services and civilian em-
ployees of the United States make significant contribu-
tions to the general welfare of the Nation;
Whereas increases in the pay of members of the uniformed
services and of civilian employees of the United States
States began an effort to recover the more than 
17.5 tons of the nuclear material that was still 
overseas, but has recovered only about 1 ton, 
according to the Department of Energy and the 
Government Accountability Office. 
(C) It is especially important to keep high-
ly enriched uranium out of terrorists’ hands be-
cause, with minimal expertise, they could use it 
to make the simplest, gun-type nuclear weap-
on—a device in which a high explosive is used 
to blow one subcritical piece of highly enriched 
uranium from one end of a tube into another 
subcritical piece held at the opposite end of the 
tube. 
(D) To Osama bin Laden, acquiring weap-
ons of mass destruction is a ‘‘religious duty’’. 
Al Qaeda and more than two dozen other ter-
rorist groups are pursuing capability to use 
weapons of mass destruction. 
(E) Osama bin Laden’s press spokesman, 
Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, has announced that the 
group aspires ‘‘to kill 4 million Americans, in-
cluding 1 million children,’’ in response to cas-
ualties supposedly inflicted on Muslims by the 
United States and Israel.
(F) Al Qaeda documents recovered in Af-
ghanistan reveal a determined research effort 
focused on nuclear weapons. 
(3) SECURITY STANDARDS FOR ALL NUCLEAR 
WEAPONS AND MATERIALS.—
(A) There are no international binding 
standards for the secure handling and storage 
of nuclear weapons and materials. 
(B) Making a nuclear weapon requires only 
4 to 5 kilograms of plutonium or 12 to 15 kilo-
grams of highly enriched uranium. 
(C) In October 2001, the United States 
Government became very concerned that Al 
Qaeda may have smuggled a 10-kiloton Russian 
nuclear warhead into New York City. If placed 
in lower Manhattan, such a device would prob-
ably kill 100,000 people instantly, seriously in-
jure tens of thousands more, and render the en-
tire area uninhabitable for decades to come. 
(4) RUSSIA’S NUCLEAR EXPERTISE.—
(A) Employment at the large nuclear facili-
ties in the Russian Federation’s 10 closed nu-
clear cities is estimated to be in the range of 
120,000 to 130,000 people, of whom approxi-
