II. SCOPE OF THE REPORT
This Report provides an assessment of U.S. adherence to obligations undertaken in arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament agreements as well as an assessment of the adherence of other nations to obligations undertaken in arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament agreements or commitments, including the Missile Technology Control Regime, to which the United States is a participating state.
Pursuant to Section 403(a)(6), this version of the Report identifies questions, to the maximum extent practicable, that exist with respect to compliance by other countries with their arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament agreements and commitments. To fulfill this statutory requirement while at the same time safeguarding sensitive or special reporting, the unclassified version of the Report may contain less detailed information about U.S. compliance assessments and findings' judgments. As a result, this version of the Report presents a relatively brief account of findings and the unclassified information that underlies them. In setting out the United States' findings in this version of the Report, we wish to emphasize that the findings are based on all available information, including information that may only be discussed in classified versions of the Report.
Although the Report primarily reflects activities that occurred from January 1, 2002, through January 1, 2004, every effort has been made to include significant developments that have occurred more recently. Unless otherwise noted, compliance issues that first came to light after that period will be addressed in the NCR due to Congress on April 15, 2006.
