This type of warfare is distinct from nuclear warfare biological warfare and radiological warfare which together make up CBRN the military acronym for nuclear biological and chemical warfare or weapons all of which are considered "weapons of mass destruction" WMDs. None of these fall under the term conventional weapons which are primarily effective due to their destructive potential. In theory with proper protective equipment training and decontamination measures the primary effects of chemical weapons can be overcome. In practice they continue to cause much suffering as most victims are defenseless. Many nations possess vast stockpiles of weaponized agents in preparation for wartime use. The threat and the perceived threat have become strategic tools in planning both measures and counter-measures. The use of chemical weapons is prohibited under customary international humanitarian law. U.S. Government Printing Office paperback

In the aftermath of the Enron collapse this hearing considered executive compensation and stock options. From the Opening Statement of Hon Max Baucus Chairman Committee on Finance. Today we are addressing some interrelated issues of corporate governance and executive compensation. Based upon questions that have arisen with the collapse of Enron we have been inundated with reports of accounting restatements disclosure concerns SEC files and so forth. Congress certainly is reacting to all of these questions. There must be what over a dozen two dozen committees and subcommittees in the Congress who have held hearings on issues related to Enron. Now we in the Congress are starting to turn to legislation. For our part the Finance Committee is working on three pieces of legislation: pensions tax shelters and executive compensation and stock options. At the same time corporations are also reacting themselves from the collapse of Enron. Some of them are reforming their practices. We now seek delays in financial reports as internal changes are made to reflect improved and probably more conservative accounting practices. The Financial Accounting Standards Board is considering reforms and the Securities Exchange Commission appears to be cracking down on enforcement. With that in mind however I think it is also critical for us to take a couple of steps back from the canvas and look at the larger picture. Before we go down this road too far I think it is important to take a good look at what we are doing where we are and what got us to this point. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

The Departments of Labor and Health Education and Welfare HEW Appropriations Act for FY 1980 H.R. 4389/H.R. 7998 faced significant delays due to disagreements over abortion funding.
