                FOR PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE THE FORMER SOVIET 
                UNION.
  
      (a) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to authorize the use 
  of Cooperative Threat Reduction funds for proliferation threat 
  reduction projects and activities outside the former Soviet Union in 
  order to resolve critical emerging proliferation threats and to take 
  advantage of opportunities to achieve long-standing United States 
  nonproliferation goals.
      (b) Cooperative Threat Reduction Programs and Funds.--For purposes 
  of this section:
              (1) Cooperative Threat Reduction programs are--
                      (A) the programs specified in section 1501(b) of 
                  the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
                  1997 (Public Law 104-201; 110 Stat. 2731; 50 U.S.C. 
                  2362 note); and
                      (B) any other similar programs, as designated by 
                  the Secretary, to address critical emerging 
                  proliferation threats in the states of the former 
                  Soviet Union that jeopardize United States national 
                  security.
              (2) Cooperative Threat Reduction funds, for a fiscal year, 
          are the funds authorized to be appropriated for Cooperative 
          Threat Reduction programs for that fiscal year.
      (c) Authorization of Use of CTR Funds for Threat Reduction 
  Activities Outside the Former Soviet Union.--(1) Notwithstanding any 
  other provision of law and subject to the succeeding provisions of this 
  section, the Secretary of Defense may obligate and expend Cooperative 
  Threat Reduction funds for a fiscal year before fiscal year 2003 that 
  remain available for obligation as of the date of the enactment of this 
  Act for proliferation threat reduction projects and activities outside 
  the states of the former Soviet Union if the Secretary determines that 
  such projects and activities will--
              (A) assist the United States in the resolution of critical 
          emerging proliferation threats; or
              (B) permit the United States to take advantage of 
          opportunities to achieve long-standing United States 
          nonproliferation goals.
      (2) The amount that may be obligated under paragraph (1) for 
  projects and activities described in that paragraph may not exceed 
  $50,000,000.
      (d) Authorized Uses of Funds.--The authority under subsection (c) 
  to obligate and expend Cooperative Threat Reduction funds for a project 
  or activity includes authority to provide equipment, goods, and 
  services for the project or activity, but does not include authority to 
  provide cash directly to the project or activity.
      (e) Source and Replacement of Funds Used.--(1) The Secretary shall, 
  to the maximum extent practicable, ensure that funds for projects and 
  activities under subsection (c) are derived from funds that would 
  otherwise be obligated for a range of Cooperative Threat Reduction 
  programs, so that no particular Cooperative Threat Reduction program is 
  the exclusive or predominate source of funds for such projects and 
  activities.
      (2) If the Secretary obligates Cooperative Threat Reduction funds 
  under subsection (c) in a fiscal year, the first budget of the 
  President that is submitted under section 1105(a) of title 31, United 
  States Code, after such fiscal year shall set forth, in addition to any 
  other amounts requested for Cooperative Threat Reduction programs in 
  the fiscal year covered by such budget, a request for Cooperative 
  Threat Reduction funds in the fiscal year covered by such budget in an 
  amount equal to the amount so obligated. The request shall also set 
  forth the Cooperative Threat Reduction program or programs for which 
  such funds would otherwise have been obligated, but for obligation 
  under subsection (c).
      (3) Amounts authorized to be appropriated pursuant to a request 
  under paragraph (2) shall be available only for the Cooperative Threat 
  Reduction program or programs set forth in the request under the second 
  sentence of that paragraph.
      (f) Limitation on Obligation of Funds.--Except as provided in 
  subsection (g), the Secretary may not obligate and expend Cooperative 
  Threat Reduction funds for a project or activity under subsection (c) 
  until 30 days after the date on which the Secretary submits to Congress 
  a report on the purpose for which the funds will be obligated and 
  expended, and the amount of the funds to be obligated and expended.
      (g) Exception.--(1) The Secretary may obligate and expend 
  Cooperative Threat Reduction funds for a project or activity under 
  subsection (c) without regard to subsection (f) if the Secretary 
  determines that a critical emerging proliferation threat warrants 
  immediate obligation and expenditure of such funds.
      (2) Not later than 72 hours after first obligating funds for a 
  project or activity under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall submit to 
  the appropriate congressional officials a report containing a detailed 
  justification for the obligation of funds. The report on a project or 
  activity shall include the following:
              (A) A description of the critical emerging proliferation 
          threat to be addressed, or the long-standing United States 
          nonproliferation goal to be achieved, by the project or 
          activity.
              (B) A description of the agreement, if any, under which the 
          funds will be used, including whether or not the agreement 
          provides that the funds will not be used for purposes contrary 
          to the national security interests of the United States.
              (C) A description of the contracting process, if any, that 
          will be used in the implementation of the project or activity.
              (D) An analysis of the effect of the obligation of funds 
          for the project or activity on ongoing Cooperative Threat 
          Reduction programs.
              (E) An analysis of the need for additional or follow-up 
          threat reduction assistance, including whether or not the need 
          for such assistance justifies the establishment of a new 
          cooperative threat reduction program or programs to account for 
          such assistance.
              (F) A description of the mechanisms to be used by the 
          Secretary to assure that proper audits and examinations of the 
          project or activity are carried out.
      (3) In this subsection, the term ``appropriate congressional 
  officials'' means--
              (A) the Speaker of the House of Representatives;
              (B) the President pro tempore of the Senate;

          Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives.
      (h) Report on Establishment of New Cooperative Threat Reduction 
  Programs.--(1) If the Secretary employs the authority in subsection (c) 
  in two consecutive fiscal years, the Secretary shall submit to Congress 
  a report on the advisability of establishing one or more new 
  cooperative threat reduction programs to account for projects and 
  activities funded using such authority.

Specifies that such expenditures may occur if determined that certain projects or activities will assist the United States in dealing with critical emerging proliferation threats or in achieving long-standing nonproliferation goals. Determines that such funds may go only to equipment, goods and services and cannot be spent directly on a project or activity.Directs the President to include in a given year's budget a request for funds distributed under the Act during the last fiscal year with a description of what projects would otherwise have been funded.
