§3743 Reports on activities and assistance under Department of Defense Cooperative Threat Reduction Program

Summary

When the President asks Congress for money for the Department of Defense to carry out the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, the Secretary of Defense, after talking with the Secretary of State, must send a report to the congressional defense committees, the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives, and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate. The report must be sent each year by the first Monday in February. That reporting rule ends on January 1, 2030. The report must say how much the United States will need to spend that fiscal year and include a five-year plan with amounts and purposes. It must describe what was done in the previous fiscal year, how much money was notified, obligated, and spent (including cumulative totals), which federal departments took part, what kinds of help were provided, and how U.S. companies were involved. It must explain how the U.S. checked that help was tracked and used properly, including where equipment is and its condition, the status of contracts or services, whether the help met its purpose, and planned checks for the coming year. The report must also describe defense and military activities under section 3711(a)(6) in the prior year, including funds spent, goals and strategy, the help given and why, results achieved, private- and other-agency participation, and any other relevant information.
