(3) O n April 10, 2006, the Secretary of Defense notified Congress that the United States would not meet even the extended deadline under the Chemical Weapons Convention for destruction of the United States chemical weapons stockpile, but would ‘‘continue working diligently to minimize the time to complete destruction without sacrificing safety and security’’ and would also ‘‘continue requesting resources needed to com- plete destruction as close to April 2012 as practicable’’. 50USC1 5 2 1 note.
