Author continues; "Committee on Strengthening and Expanding the Department of Defense Cooperative Threat Reduction Program." The government's first Cooperative Threat Reduction CTR programs were created in 1991 to eliminate the former Soviet Union's nuclear chemical and other weapons and prevent their proliferation. The programs have accomplished a great deal: deactivating thousands of nuclear warheads neutralizing chemical weapons converting weapons facilities for peaceful use and redirecting the work of former weapons scientists and engineers among other efforts. Originally designed to deal with immediate post-Cold War challenges the programs must be expanded to other regions and fundamentally redesigned as an active tool of foreign policy that can address contemporary threats from groups that are that are agile networked and adaptable. As requested by Congress Global Security Engagement proposes how this goal can best be achieved. To meet the magnitude of new security challenges particularly at the nexus of weapons of mass destruction and terrorism Global Security Engagement recommends a new more flexible and responsive model that will draw on a broader range of partners than current programs have. The White House working across the Executive Branch and with Congress must lead this effort. From Wikipedia: "The Cooperative Threat Reduction CTR Program occasionally known as Nunn Lugar based on a 1992 U.S. law sponsored by Senators Sam Nunn and Richard Lugar is an initiative housed within the Defense Threat Reduction Agency DTRA. According to the CTR website "the purpose of the CTR Program is to secure and dismantle weapons of mass destruction and their associated infrastructure in former Soviet Union states." CTR provides funding and expertise for states in the former Soviet Union including Russia Ukraine Georgia Azerbaijan Belarus Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan to decommission nuclear biological and chemical weapon stockpiles as agreed by the Soviet Union under disarmament treaties such as SALT II. Under the scrutiny of American contractors nuclear warheads would be removed from their delivery vehicles then decommissioned or stockpiled at designated sites in Russia. In recent years the CTR program has expanded its mission from WMD at the root source to protecting against WMD "on the move" by enhancing land and maritime border security in the Former Soviet Union."
