submitted 12 years ago by Pub. L. 113-291 to r/title-50-WAR-AND-NATIONAL-DEFENSE · 160 words · no verdicts yet
This section states that activities in Russia under the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program should support United States security interests. After fiscal year 2015, funds may not be used for Russian activities without specific legal authorization.
(a) Sense of Congress. Congress states that the United States should carry out Program* activities in Russia only when they are consistent with and support United States security interests. For activities after December 19, 2014, the Secretary of Defense should focus only on activities supporting United States and Russian arms-control obligations or reducing threats from weapons of mass destruction and related materials and technology to the United States and countries in the Euro-Atlantic and Eurasian regions. (b) Cooperative Threat Reduction activities in Russia. Cooperative Threat Reduction money made available after fiscal year 2015 may not be obligated or spent for activities in Russia unless a law specifically authorizes those activities.
It is the sense of Congress that—
the United States should carry out activities under the Program* in the Russian Federation only if those activities are consistent with and in support of the security interests of the United States; and
in carrying out any such activities after December 19, 2014, the Secretary of Defense should focus on only those activities that—
are in support of the arms control obligations of the United States and the Russian Federation; or
will reduce the threats posed by weapons of mass destruction and related materials and technology to the United States and countries in the Euro-Atlantic and Eurasian regions.
Cooperative Threat Reduction funds* made available for a fiscal year after fiscal year 2015 may not be obligated or expended for activities in the Russian Federation unless such activities in Russia are specifically authorized by law.
