Congress passed the Nunn-Lugar amendment, authorizing U.S. threat
reduction assistance to the former Soviet Union, in November 1991,
after a failed coup in Moscow and the disintegration of the Soviet
Union raised concerns about the safety and security of Soviet
nuclear weapons. The annual program has grown from $400 million in
the DOD budget to over $1 billion per year across three
agencies-DOD, DOE, and the State Department. It has also evolved
from an emergency response to impending chaos in the Soviet Union,
to a more comprehensive threat reduction and nonproliferation
effort, to a broader program seeking to keep nuclear, chemical, and
biological weapons from leaking out of the former Soviet Union and
into the hands of rogue nations or terrorist groups, to a global
program to address the threat of weapons of mass destruction.
