AN ACT To establish a United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, TITLE I-SHORT TITLE, PURPOSE, AND DEFINITIONS SHORT TITLE SECTION 1.1 This Act may be cited as the "Arms Control and Disarmament Act”. PURPOSE SEC. 2.2 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 Act to provide 122 U.S.C. 2551 note. 22 U.S.C. 2551. 3 This goal is reaffirmed in Sec. 1 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2751), which adds: "In furtherance of that goal, it remains the policy of the United States to encourage regional arms control and disarmament agreements and to discourage arms races. "That section further expresses the sense of the Congress that foreign military sales be approved "only when they are consistent with the foreign policy interests of the United States * with particular regard being given, where appropriate to the impact of the sales on existing or incipient arms races." Section 150 of Public Law 94-141 amended the laws relating to international arms transfers to require that decisions on such transfers be made in coordination with the Director of the United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency and take into account nis opinion as to whether the proposed action will contribute to an arms race, or increase the possibility of outbreak or escalation of conflict, or prejudice the development of bilateral or multilateral arms control arrangements. The changes made by Sec. 150 of Public Law 94-141 were to add a subsection (f) to Sec. 414 of the Mutual Security Act of 1954 (which Sec. 212 of the International Security Assistance and Arms Export Control Act of 1976 subsequently repealed and incorporated as subsection 38 (a) (2) of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778(a) (2))), and to amend Sec. 42(a) of the Foreign Military Sales Act (now Sec. 42(a) of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2791(a))) and Sec. 511 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended (22 U.S.C. 2321(d)). See also Executive Order 11958 which directs that in carrying out the functions delegated to them with respect to arms sales and exports, the Secretaries of State and Defense shall consult with the Director of this Agency on matters pertaining to his responsibilities. The Director has charged an Assistant Director with primary responsibility for developing policy recommendations and negotiating proposals relating to the control of international transfers of arms and related technology and for assuring that the Agency's views are made known and taken into account concerning arms control factors involved in individual U.S. arms transfers and in policy decisions related to such transfers (22 CFR 801.14). |
