      "title": "The Expanded Threat Reduction Initiative for the Former Soviet Union: Administration Proposals for FY2000",
      "summary": "Responding to the impact of Russia's financial crisis, President Clinton's budget requests $1\nbillion\nfor FY2000 and $4.5 billion over five years for nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons threat\nreduction programs in the former Soviet Union. The added funds in this Expanded Threat Reduction\nInitiative (ETR) -- 35% over FY1999 levels -- will augment many ongoing programs funded under\nDepartment of Defense, Energy and Water, and Foreign Operations appropriations and significantly\nexpand efforts in science and technology nonproliferation. Some members of Congress may\nquestion the Initiative's new priorities and some may question whether it serves U.S. national\nsecurity and nonproliferation objectives. This report will not be updated. For updated tracking of\nETR authorizations and appropriations and further discussion of threat reduction and other NIS aid\nprograms, see CRS Issue Brief IB98038,  Nuclear Weapons In Russia , and CRS Issue Brief IB95077,\n The Former Soviet Union and U.S. Foreign Assistance,  and  CRS Report 97-1027 ,\n Nunn-Lugar\nCooperative Threat Reduction Programs: Issues for Congress .",
