tions, such as constructing a wastewater disposal

EXPEDITIOUS 
DISPOSAL 
OF 
CHEMICAL 
WEAPONS.

transportation of chemical munitions or processed 
chemical munitions is difficult to implement 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—In light of these findings, 
it is the sense of Congress that, when chemical munitions 
or processed chemical munitions are proposed for treat-
ment or disposal at a location remote from the location 
where the munitions are stored— 
(1) the method of actually selecting the disposal 
location should be free from political interference; 
and 
(2) a process like that used for selecting and 
approving military installations for closure or re-
alignment should be considered.
