Cooperative Threat Reduction Program

Abstract

Congress enacted Public Law 102-228, the Soviet Nuclear Threat Reduction Act of 1991 (the Act), to reduce the threat posed by the weapons of mass destruction remaining in the territory of the former Soviet Union. Specific objectives of the Act are to help reduce strategic arms in the former Soviet Union to Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty levels or lower, enhance security over nuclear weapons and fissile material, assist the former Soviet Union to destroy and prevent proliferation of biological and chemical weapons, and encourage military reductions and reform. The Act designates DoD as the executive agent for what came to be called the Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Program. From FY 1992 through FY 2000, Congress appropriated $3.5 billion for the CTR Program.
