      "title": "Expanding Threat Reduction and Nonproliferation Programs: Concepts and Definitions",
      "summary": "President Bush, Members of Congress, and analysts outside government have suggested that\nthe\nUnited States provide threat reduction and nonproliferation assistance to nations outside the former\nSoviet Union. Some propose expanding assistance to contain proliferation; others support programs\nto stop terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Some support assisting only\nthose nations with WMD programs; others support assistance for any nation with WMD materials\nor knowledge. Some support assistance with the storage or elimination of weapons; others believe\nthe United States should \"lock down\" all WMD materials. Some believe the United States can fund\nexpanded programs from the existing budget for nonproliferation and threat reduction assistance;\nothers support large increases in the existing budget. The report of the 9/11 Commission called for\ncontinued support for threat reduction assistance.  H.R. 10 , the 9/11 Recommendations\nImplementation Act, calls for a review of U.S. policy in this area. This report will be updated as\nneeded.",
