President. today I am introducing a bill for myself and the distinguished minority leader. Senator DOLE. to address one of the fundamental dangers to arise as a result of the disintegration of the Soviet Union: the sudden availability of talented scientists who have specialized in developing weapons of mass destruction. It is called the Commonwealth Scientist Immigration and Exchange Act of 1992. Reports as recent as an Associated Press story on the wire yesterday indicate that "nuclear mercenaries [may] sell expertise or hardtotrack components to nations trying to build a bomb." Although that is not yet the case. it may be if we do not act soon. The situation in the former Soviet Union is grave.
