It is the sense of Congress that— the United States Government should develop a plan to reduce the spread of technology and expertise that could support the ballistic missile development programs of Iran, North Korea, and Syria, as well as any other nation determined by the United States Government to be a ballistic missile proliferation risk; and such plan should include efforts to secure the cooperation of the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China to help reduce the spread of such ballistic missile technology and expertise.
Not later than 240 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with appropriate Federal departments and agencies, shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report on steps that have been taken, and that are planned to be taken, to reduce the spread of technology and expertise that could support the ballistic missile development programs of Iran, North Korea, and Syria, as well as any other nation the Secretary determines to be a ballistic missile proliferation risk.
In this subsection, the term appropriate congressional committees means— the congressional defense committees; the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives; and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives. The report required by this subsection shall be submitted in unclassified form, but may contain a classified annex, if necessary.
