Nuclear-Related Dual-Use Commodities

<p>Statement by Department Spokesman Margaret Tutwiler,
Washington, DC, April 3, 1992.
</p>
<p> The United States is pleased to announce that the 27
member-states of the Nuclear Suppliers Group have agreed on
common export controls of nuclear-related dual-use items that
could make a major contribution to the development of nuclear
weapons.
</p>
<p> At a meeting in Warsaw on March 31-April 3, the Nuclear
Suppliers Group approved a comprehensive arrangement to
prohibit exports of some 65 key items of equipment and materials
to unsafeguarded activities and nuclear explosives programs.
</p>
<p> This effort, which began a year ago under US chairmanship,
is the most important export-control initiative of recent years.
It will fill a crucial gap in existing controls and will
greatly assist in our efforts to halt the spread of nuclear
weapons.
</p>
<p> The United States is grateful to all of the participants for
their cooperation in bringing about this important step in
strengthening the global non-proliferation regime.
