know-how outside of the territory of the Soviet Union, its 
republics, and any successor entities, that contribute to world-
wide proliferation; and 
(3) that it is in the national security interests of the United 
States (A) to facilitate on a priority basis the transportation, 
storage, safeguarding, and destruction of nuclear and other 
weapons in the Soviet Union, its republics, and any successor
