    The Congress finds that it is in the national security interest of

        destruction of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction of 
        the independent states of the former Soviet Union;
            (B) the prevention of proliferation of weapons of mass 
        destruction and destabilizing conventional weapons of the 
        independent states, and the establishment of verifiable 
        safeguards against the proliferation of such weapons;
            (C) the prevention of diversion of weapons-related 
        scientific expertise of the former Soviet Union to terrorist 
        groups or third countries; and
            (D) other efforts designed to reduce the military threat 
        from the former Soviet Union;

        (2) to support the conversion of the massive defense-related 
    industry and equipment of the independent states of the former 
    Soviet Union for civilian purposes and uses; and

    States and the independent states.
