for transporting or propelling the device (where such
means is a separable and divisible part of the device),
the principal purpose of which is for use as, or for
the development of, a weapon, a weapon prototype, or
a weapon test device.
SEC. 3132. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The possibility that terrorists may acquire
and use a nuclear weapon against the United States
is the most horrific threat that our Nation faces.
(2) The September 2006 ‘‘National Strategy for
Combating Terrorism’’ issued by the White House
states, ‘‘Weapons of mass destruction in the hands of
terrorists is one of the gravest threats we face.’’
(3) Former Senator and cofounder of the Nuclear
Threat Initiative Sam Nunn has stated, ‘‘Stockpiles
of loosely guarded nuclear weapons material are scat-
tered around the world, offering inviting targets for
theft or sale. We are working on this, but I believe
that the threat is outrunning our response.’’.
(4) Existing programs intended to secure, mon-
itor, and reduce nuclear stockpiles, redirect nuclear
scientists, and interdict nuclear smuggling have made
substantial progress, but additional efforts are needed
†
1119
HR 1585 EAS
to reduce the threat of nuclear terrorism as much as
possible.
(5) Former United Nations Secretary-General
Kofi Annan has said that a nuclear terror attack
‘‘would not only cause widespread death and destruc-
tion, but would stagger the world economy and thrust
tens of millions of people into dire poverty’’.
(6) United Nations Security Council Resolution
1540 (2004) reaffirms the need to combat by all
means, in accordance with the Charter of the United
Nations, threats to international peace and security
caused by terrorist acts, and directs all countries, in
accordance with their national procedures, to adopt
and enforce effective laws that prohibit any non-state
actor from manufacturing, acquiring, possessing, de-
veloping, transporting, transferring, or using nuclear,
chemical, or biological weapons and their means of
delivery, in particular for terrorist purposes, and to
prohibit attempts to engage in any of the foregoing
activities, participate in them as an accomplice, or
assist or finance them.
(7) The Director General of the International
Atomic Energy Agency, Dr. Mohammed ElBaradei,
has said that it is a ‘‘race against time’’ to prevent
a terrorist attack using a nuclear weapon.
†
1120
HR 1585 EAS
(8) The International Atomic Energy Agency
plays a vital role in coordinating efforts to protect
nuclear materials and to combat nuclear smuggling.
(9) Legislation sponsored by Senator Richard
Lugar, Senator Pete Domenici, and former Senator
Sam Nunn has resulted in groundbreaking programs
to secure nuclear weapons and materials and to help
ensure that such weapons and materials do not fall
into the hands of terrorists.
SEC. 3133. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE PREVENTION OF
NUCLEAR TERRORISM.
It is the sense of Congress that—
(1) the President should make the prevention of
a nuclear terrorist attack on the United States of the
highest priority;
(2) the President should accelerate programs, re-
questing additional funding as appropriate, to pre-
vent nuclear terrorism, including combating nuclear
smuggling, securing and accounting for nuclear weap-
ons, and eliminating, removing, or securing and ac-
counting for formula quantities of strategic special
nuclear material wherever such quantities may be;
(3) the United States, together with the inter-
national community, should take a comprehensive ap-
proach to reducing the danger of nuclear terrorism,

worldwide are secure and accounted for and that for-

counted for to a degree sufficient to defeat the threat
that terrorists and criminals have shown they can
pose, and to increase the ability to find and stop ter-
rorist efforts to manufacture nuclear explosives or to
transport nuclear explosives and materials anywhere
in the world;
(4) within such a comprehensive approach, a
high priority must be placed on ensuring that all nu-
clear weapons worldwide are secure and accounted for
