## Summary

This bill would create a **National and Nuclear Risk Reduction Center** inside the Department of State that reports to the Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security. The center would operate a 24-hour government-to-government communications hub for arms-control and confidence-building notifications, translate and disseminate messages, provide technical assistance to foreign partners, and set interagency coordination protocols. - Federal agencies would gain a single 24-hour channel for exchanging arms-control notifications and time-sensitive operational alerts. Translated messages would be routed to the appropriate offices for urgent action. - Foreign governments would receive technical assistance on national communication systems tied to arms-control and confidence-building agreements. That support aims to speed and clarify notification exchanges. - Department policy and operational offices would get advice on communications and technical issues from the center and defined liaison roles for coordination across agencies. - Center staffing would require at least one linguist on duty at all times who can translate Mandarin Chinese and Russian and who is proficient with technical arms-control matters.
