Page 1726 TITLE 22—FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE § 5902 1 See References in Text note below. ‘‘(5) The current international era of cooperation provides greater opportunities for achieving world- wide reduction and control of nuclear weapons and material than any time since the emergence of nu- clear weapons 50 years ago. ‘‘(6) It is in the security interests of both the United States and the world community for the President and the Congress to begin the process of re- ducing the number of nuclear weapons in every coun- try through multilateral agreements and other ap- propriate means. ‘‘(7) In a 1991 study, a committee of the National Academy of Sciences concluded that: ‘The appro- priate new levels of nuclear weapons cannot be speci- fied at this time, but it seems reasonable to the com- mittee that U.S. strategic forces could in time be re- duced to 1,000–2,000 nuclear warheads, provided that such a multilateral agreement included appropriate levels and verification measures for the other nations that possess nuclear weapons. This step would require successful implementation of our proposed post- START U.S.-Soviet reductions, related confidence- building measures in all the countries involved, and multilateral security cooperation in areas such as conventional force deployments and planning.’. ‘‘(b) UNITED STATES POLICY.—It shall be the goal of the United States— ‘‘(1) to encourage and facilitate the denuclearization of Ukraine, Byelarus, and Kazakhstan, as agreed upon in the Lisbon ministerial meeting of May 23, 1992; ‘‘(2) to rapidly complete and submit for ratification by the United States the treaty incorporating the agreement of June 17, 1992, between the United States and the Russian Federation to reduce the number of strategic nuclear weapons in each country’s arsenal to a level between 3,000 and 3,500; ‘‘(3) to facilitate the ability of the Russian Federa- tion, Ukraine, Byelarus, and Kazakhstan to imple- ment agreed mutual reductions under the START Treaty, and under the Joint Understanding of June 16–17, 1992 between the United States and the Russian Federation, on an accelerated timetable, so that all such reductions can be completed by the year 2000; ‘‘(4) to build on the agreement reached in the Joint Understanding of June 16–17, 1992, by entering into multilateral negotiations with the Russian Federa- tion, the United Kingdom, France, and the People’s Republic of China, and, at an appropriate point in that process, enter into negotiations with other nu- clear armed states in order to reach subsequent stage-by-stage agreements to achieve further reduc- tions in the number of nuclear weapons in all coun- tries; ‘‘(5) to continue and extend cooperative discussions with the appropriate authorities of the former Soviet military on means to maintain and improve secure command and control over nuclear forces; ‘‘(6) in consultation with other member countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and other al- lies, to initiate discussions to bring tactical nuclear weapons into the arms control process; and ‘‘(7) to ensure that the United States assistance to securely transport and store, and ultimately dis- mantle, former Soviet nuclear weapons and missiles for such weapons is being properly and effectively utilized. ‘‘(c) ANNUAL REPORT.—By February 1 of each year, the President shall submit to the Congress a report on— ‘‘(1) the actions that the United States has taken, and the actions the United States plans to take dur- ing the next 12 months, to achieve each of the goals set forth in paragraphs (1) through (6) of subsection (b); and ‘‘(2) the actions that have been taken by the Rus- sian Federation, by other former Soviet republics, and by other countries to achieve those goals. Each such report shall be submitted in unclassified form, with a classified appendix if necessary.’’ § 5902. Repealed. Pub. L. 113–291, div.
