- Title
Ridding the United States of Chemical Warfare Material.
- Authors
Blackwood Jr., Milton E.
- Abstract
The article presents information on the congressional laws that bound the storage and expansion of chemical weapons in the United States. The attention has largely been focused on the U.S. Army's efforts to destroy country's stockpile of chemical warfare material which included some 31,000 tons of chemical agents stored at several different sites in the continental United States. The U.S. commitment to destroy its chemical weapons went beyond a national requirement to an international interest when, on April 24, 1997, the U.S. Senate gave its advice and approval for the ratification of the United Nations sponsored Chemical Weapons Convention.
