WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION: Reducing the Threat From the Former Soviet Union: An Update

Abstract

As you know, Congress has had an ongoing interest in the effectiveness of U.S. efforts to reduce the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction in the former Soviet Union (FSU). In response to your requests, we have assessed the Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program's * planning and funding status and * recent progress in addressing CTR objectives in the FSU, that is, the safe and secure elimination of nuclear, chemical, and other weapons of mass destruction (including missiles and other strategic delivery vehicles); improving controls over nuclear weapons and materials; and promoting demilitarization projects.
