- NUCLEAR FIRST STRIKE
- NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY EXPORTS
- NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION
Nuclear proliferation is the spread of nuclear weapons, fissionable material, and nuclear-weapons technology to nations not recognized as “Nuclear Weapon States” by the 1968 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) - the only binding treaty by nuclear-weapon States with the goal of nuclear disarmament. More countries (191) have ratified the NPT than any other disarmament agreement. The NPT reflects the desire of the vast majority of nations to prevent additional countries from acquiring nuclear weapons. In exchange for eliminating nuclear arsenals or promising not to acquire one, NPT States receive access to nuclear power technology and support for such programs.
Over time, the goal of the NPT is for all nations to disarm themselves of nuclear weapons. Only India, Pakistan, Israel, South Sudan and North Korea have not signed this importantly-viewed agreement. There are five states - China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, and the United States - officially recognized as possessing nuclear weapons by the NPT. However, it is known that India, Israel and North Korea also possess nukes.
Proposed Legislation: Reintroduction of H.R.5387 - Preventing the Spread of Nuclear Weapons Act of 2019
Prospective Sponsor: Rep. Brad Sherman (CA)

- I oppose reforming current nuclear proliferation policy and wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Speaker Mike Johnson (LA).
- I support requiring the President to obtain congressional approval before entering into or renewing a nuclear cooperation agreement with a foreign country by and requiring the President to report to Congress on: 1.) Any credible evidence that the foreign country intends to pursue a nuclear program that is not inherently peaceful. 2.) Any instance where the country has violated international standards related to weapons of mass destruction, including certain treaties relating to nuclear and chemical weapons. If the report contains any such credible evidence or instances, the President may not enter into or renew the treaty unless: 1.) The President submits a proposed agreement with the foreign country that meets specified statutory requirements related to nuclear cooperation agreements. 2.) Congress passes a joint resolution approving the agreement, unless the foreign country is a member of NATO and a nuclear weapon state. And wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Rep. Brad Sherman (CA) and/or to an advocate group currently working with this issue.
