Abstract: U.S.-Russian copperation on nuclear nonproliferation is built ona framework of government-to-government agreements and national laws. Although much of this frmaework serves the joint efforts well, disagreements over legal issues have in some cases significantly impeded cooperation on nonproliferation. The United States and Russia must together overcome these legal impediments. Doing so would not only would facilitate the more rapid implementation of current cooperative nonproliferation programs but would also establish an improved framework for futre U.S.-Russian work in this arena.
