Sec. 1513. Deployment, storage, and disposal; notification to 
        host country and Congress; international law violations; reports 
        to Congress and international organizations
        
    (1) None of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act or 
any other Act may be used for the future deployment, storage, or 
disposal, at any place outside the United States of--
        (A) any lethal chemical or any biological warfare agent, or
        (B) any delivery system specifically designed to disseminate any 
    such agent,

unless prior notice of such deployment, storage, or disposal has been 
given to the country exercising jurisdiction over such place. In the 
case of any place outside the United States which is under the 
jurisdiction or control of the United States Government, no such action 
may be taken unless the Secretary gives prior notice of such action to 
the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of 
Representatives. As used in this paragraph, the term ``United States'' 
means the several States and the District of Columbia.
    (2) None of the funds authorized by this Act or any other Act shall 
be used for the future testing, development, transportation, storage, or 
disposal of any lethal chemical or any biological warfare agent outside 
the United States, or for the disposal of any munitions in international 
waters, if the Secretary of State, after appropriate notice by the 
Secretary whenever any such action is contemplated, determines that such 
testing, development, transportation, storage, or disposal will violate 
international law. The Secretary of State shall report all 
determinations made by him under this paragraph to the President of the 
Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and to all 
appropriate international organizations, or organs thereof, in the event 
such report is required by treaty or other international agreement.
