PUBLIC LAW 99-000—MMMM. DD, 1985

PUBLIC LAW 99-93—AUG. 16, 1985 "SEC. 52. REPORTS ON ADHERENCE TO AND COMPLIANCE WITH AGREEMENTS.

"The Congress determines that the achievement and maintenance of successful controls upon armaments requires official and public confidence that the parties are expected to adhere to their commitments and that the parties will be held accountable for failure to meet obligations. Without such confidence, existing arms control accords are eroded, and the prospects are jeopardized for new agreements which can place further controls on the competition in nuclear and conventional weapons and which can increase international stability. In accordance with this determination— "(1) the President shall submit, not later than January 31 of each year, to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate a report prepared by the Director, in coordination with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Energy, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Director of Central Intelligence, on the adherence of the United States to obligations undertaken in arms control agreements and on any problems related to compliance by other nations with the provisions of bilateral and multilateral arms control agreements to which the United States is a party; "(2) the section of the report dealing with United States adherence shall include information on the policies and organization of each relevant agency or department of the United States to ensure adherence, a description of national security programs with a direct bearing on adherence questions and of steps being taken to ensure adherence, and a compilation of any substantive questions raised during the previous year regarding United States adherence, together with an assessment of such issues and the need for any corrective action; and "(3) the section of the report dealing with problems of compliance by other nations shall include, in the case of each treaty or agreement about which compliance questions exist— "(A) a description of each sigiiificant issue raised and efforts made and contemplated with the other party to seek a resolution of the difficulty; "(B) an assessment of damage, if any, to United States security and other interests; and "(C) recommendations as to any steps which should be considered to redress any damage to United States national security and to reduce compliance problems. The report required by this section shall be provided in unclassified form, with classified annexes, as appropriate.". SEC. 704. PAY FOR DEPUTY DIRECTOR AND ASSISTANT DIRECTORS.
