 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) the strategic nuclear weapons targeting systems of the United States and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) should reflect the reduction of hostility between such nations and the United States; (2) mutually verifiable assurances that no government is targeting the territory of any other should be forthcoming; (3) prior to negotiations leading to the development of a system of mutual verification, such governments should share all available information pertaining to members of the U.S. armed forces unaccounted for in international military conflicts; (4) it should be U.S. policy in arms reduction negotiations to make the issue of changing strategic nuclear targeting a core part of all further agreements; (5) such assurances should be a condition for any U.S. foreign assistance to a member country of the CIS; and (6) the President should report semiannually to the Congress on compliance with revised targeting strategies and policies.
