Subtitle B—International Nonproliferation
Activities
SEC. 1611. NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States has been seeking to contain the
spread of nuclear weapons technology and materials.
(2) With the end of the Cold War and the breakup of
the Soviet Union, the proliferation of nuclear weapons is now
a leading military threat to the national security of the United
States and its allies.
(3) The United Nations Security Council declared on Janu-
ary 31, 1992, that ‘‘proliferation of all weapons of mass destruc-
tion constitutes a threat to international peace and security’’
and committed to taking appropriate action to prevent prolifera-
tion from occurring.
(4) Aside from the five declared nuclear weapon states,
a number of other nations have or are pursuing nuclear weap-
ons capabilities.
(5) The IAEA is a valuable international institution to
counter proliferation, but the effectiveness of its system to
safeguard nuclear materials may be adversely affected by finan-
cial constraints.
(6) The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty codifies world
consensus against further nuclear proliferation and is scheduled
for review and extension in 1995.
(7) The Nuclear Nonproliferation Act of 1978 declared that
the United States is committed to continued strong support
for the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to a strengthened
and more effective IAEA, and established that it is United
States policy to establish more effective controls over the trans-
fer of nuclear equipment, materials, and technology.
(b) COMPREHENSIVE NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION POLICY.—In
order to end nuclear proliferation and reduce current nuclear
arsenals and supplies of weapons-usable nuclear materials, it should
be the policy of the United States to pursue a comprehensive
policy to end the further spread of nuclear weapons capability,
roll back nuclear proliferation where it has occurred, and prevent
the use of nuclear weapons anywhere in the world, with the follow-
ing additional objectives:
(1) Successful conclusion of all pending nuclear arms con-
trol and disarmament agreements with all the republics of
the former Soviet Union and their secure implementation.
(2) Full participation by all the republics of the former
Soviet Union in all multilateral nuclear nonproliferation efforts
and acceptance of IAEA safeguards on all their nuclear facili-
ties.
