Sec. 2551. Congressional statement of purpose

-STATUTE-

An ultimate goal of the United States is a world which is free

from the scourge of war and the dangers and burdens of armaments;

in which the use of force has been subordinated to the rule of law;

and in which international adjustments to a changing world are

achieved peacefully. It is the purpose of this chapter to provide

impetus toward this goal by addressing the problem of reduction and

control of armaments looking toward ultimate world disarmament.

The Secretary of State must have the capacity to provide the

essential scientific, economic, political, military, psychological,

and technological information upon which realistic arms control,

nonproliferation, and disarmament policy must be based. The

Secretary shall have the authority, under the direction of the

President, to carry out the following primary functions:

(1) The preparation for and management of United States

participation in international negotiations and implementation

fora in the arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament

field.

(2) The conduct, support, and coordination of research for arms

control, nonproliferation, and disarmament policy formulation.

(3) The preparation for, operation of, or direction of, United

States participation in such control systems as may become part

of United States arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament

activities.

(4) The dissemination and coordination of public information

concerning arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament.

thereafter, of the funds appropriated, reimbursable expenses

incurred by the Department of Defense on behalf of the Soviet Union

or its successor entities in monitoring United States

implementation of the Treaty Between the United States of America

and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on the Elimination of

Their Intermediate-Range or Shorter-Range Missiles ('INF Treaty'),

or fund to which the expenses were charged: Provided, That

reimbursements which are not received within one hundred and eighty

Union engaged in activities related to the INF Treaty: Provided

further, That this provision includes only the in-country period

(referred to in the INF Treaty) and is effective whether such duty

is performed at, near, or away from an individual's permanent duty

UNITED STATES PROGRAM FOR ON-SITE INSPECTIONS UNDER ARMS CONTROL

AGREEMENTS

Pub. L. 101-189, div. A, title X, Sec. 1014, Nov. 29, 1989, 103

Stat. 1547, provided that:

"(a) Findings Concerning On-Site Inspection Personnel. - Congress

makes the following findings:

"(1) The United States is currently engaged in multilateral and

bilateral negotiations seeking to achieve treaties or agreements

to reduce or eliminate various types of military weapons and to

make certain reductions in military personnel levels. These

negotiations include negotiations for (A) reductions in strategic

forces, conventional armaments, and military personnel levels,

(B) regimes for monitoring nuclear testing, and (C) the complete

elimination of chemical weapons.

"(2) Requirements for monitoring these possible treaties or

agreements will be extensive and will place severe stress on the

monitoring capabilities of United States national technical

means.

"(3) In the case of the INF Treaty, the United States and the

Soviet Union negotiated, and are currently using, on-site

inspection procedures to complement and support monitoring by

national technical means. Similar on-site inspection procedures

are being negotiated for inclusion in possible future treaties

and agreements referred to in paragraph (1).

"(4) During initial implementation of the provisions of the INF

Treaty, the United States was not fully prepared for the

personnel requirements for the conduct of on-site inspections.

The Director of Central Intelligence has stated that on-site

inspection requirements for any strategic arms reduction treaty

or agreement will be far more extensive than those for the INF

Treaty. The number of locations within the Soviet Union that

would possibly be subject to on-site inspections under a START

agreement have been estimated to be approximately 2,500 (compared

to 120 for the INF Treaty).

"(5) On-site inspection procedures are likely to be an integral

part of any future arms control treaty or agreement.

"(6) Personnel requirements will be extensive for such on-site

inspection procedures, both in terms of numbers of personnel and

technical and linguistic skills. Since verification requirements

for the INF Treaty are already placing severe stress on current

personnel resources, the requirements for verification under

START and other possible future treaties and agreements may

quickly exceed the current number of verification personnel

having necessary technical and language skills.

"(7) There is a clear need for a database of the names of

individuals who are members of the Armed Forces or civilian

employees of the United States Government, or of other citizens

and nationals of the United States, who are qualified (by reason

of technical or language skills) to participate in on-site

inspections under an arms control treaty or agreement.

"(8) The organization best suited to establish such a database

is the On-Site Inspection Agency (OSIA) of the Department of

Defense, which was created by the President to implement (for the

United States) the on-site inspection provisions of the INF

Treaty.

"(b) Status of the OSIA. - (1) Congress finds that -

"(A) the Director of the OSIA (currently a brigadier general of

the Army) is appointed by the Secretary of Defense with the

concurrence of the Secretary of State and the approval of the

President;

"(B) the Secretary of Defense provides to the Director

appropriate policy guidance formulated by the interagency arms

control mechanism established by the President;

"(C) most of the personnel of the OSIA are members of the Armed

Forces (who are trained and paid by the military departments

within the Department of Defense) and include linguists, weapons

specialists, and foreign area specialists;

"(D) the Department of Defense provides the OSIA with

substantially all of its administrative and logistic support

(including military air transportation for inspections in the

Soviet Union and Eastern Europe); and

"(E) the facilities in Europe and the United States at which

OSIA personnel escort personnel of the Soviet Union conducting

inspections under the on-site inspection terms of the INF Treaty

are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense (or under

the jurisdiction of entities that are contractors with the

Department of Defense).

"(2) In light of the findings in paragraph (1) and the report

submitted pursuant to section 909 of Public Law 100-456 [div. A,

title IX, Sept. 29, 1988, 102 Stat. 2036] entitled 'Report to the

Congress on U.S. Monitoring and Verification Activities Related to

the INF Treaty' (submitted on July 27, 1989), Congress hereby

determines that by locating the On-Site Inspection Agency within

the Department of Defense for the purposes of administrative and

logistic support and operational guidance, and integrating on-site

inspection responsibilities under the INF Treaty with existing

organizational activities of that Department, the President has

been able to ensure that sensitive national security assets are

protected and that obligations of the United States under that

treaty are fulfilled in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

"(c) Establishment of Personnel Database. - (1) In light of the

findings in subsection (a), the Director of the On-Site Inspection

Agency shall establish a database consisting of the names of

individuals who could be assigned or detailed (in the case of

Government personnel) or employed (in the case of non-Government

personnel) to participate in the conduct of on-site inspections

under any future arms control treaty or agreement that includes

provisions for such inspections.

"(2) The database should be composed of the names of individuals

with skills (including linguistic and technical skills) necessary

for the conduct of on-site inspections.

"(d) INF Treaty Defined. - For purposes of this section, the term

'INF Treaty' means the Treaty Between the United States and the

Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on the Elimination of Their

Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles, signed in

Washington, DC, on December 8, 1987."
