§ 2577 . Verification of Arms Control Agreements 
Report to Congreai 
(a) It is the sense of the Congress that adequate verification of 
compliance should be an indispensable part of any international arms 
control agreement. In recognition of such policy and in order to 
assure that arms control proposals made or accepted by the United 
States can be adequately verified, the Director shall report to the 
Congress, on a timely basis, or upon a request by an appropriate com- 
mittee of the Congress — 
(1) in the case of each element of any significant arms control 
proposal made to a foreign country by the United States, or 
made to the United States by a foreign country, the determina- 
tion of the Director as to the degree to which such element can 
be verified by existing national technical means; 
(2) in the case of any arms control agreement or treaty that 
has entered into force, any significant degradation or alteration 
in the capacity of the United States to verify the various com- 
ponents of such agreement or treaty; 
(3) the number of professional personnel assigned to arms 
control verification on a full-time basis by each Government 
agency; and 
(4) the amount and percentage of research funds expended 
by the Agency for the purpose of analyzing issues relating to 
arms control verification. 
Anumptloni ai (o Impeding of verification 
(b) For purposes of paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (a) of 
this section, the Director shall assume that all measures of conceal- 
ment not expressly prohibited could be employed and that standard 
practices could be altered so as to impede verification.
