Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining, and Related
Programs (NADR):
[$36 million for Export Control and Related Border Security
Assistance (EXBS), which is designed to help prevent the proliferation
of weapons of mass destruction, missile delivery systems,
related goods and technologies, and other weapons to rogue
states and terrorist networks. Funds provide training, equipment,
and services to establish or enhance export control systems
and border control capabilities and infrastructure to mitigate
the illegal transit of prohibited material. The program supports
activities in Russia and the Eurasian republics, India, Central
and Eastern Europe, and key transit states worldwide. The
increase represents a consolidation of about $20.5 million
in FREEDOM Support Act/NIS-funded export control activities
into the NADR account for FY 2003, and assumes continued expenditures
for programs augmented in FY 2002 with supplemental appropriations.
$52 million for the Science Centers and Bio Redirection program.
Funding for the Science Centers helps prevent former Soviet
weapons experts from providing weapons of mass destruction
expertise to terrorist networks or to proliferant states.
Funding finances civilian research in Russia and Ukraine,
Kazakhstan, Armenia, Georgia, and Uzbekistan. Funding will
also support cross-regional projects, activities to promote
the permanent redirection of these scientists to peaceful
civilian careers, and increased oversight, audits, monitoring,
and other administrative expenses due to expanded activities.]
