This paper provides information on the status of U.S. and multilateral efforts to stop the proliferation of and eventually destroy all chemical weapons. GAO examines the administration's export control policies and procedures; U.S. coordination with other countries on the control of chemicals and equipment used in making chemical weapons, including U.S. participation in the Australia group; the progress and obstacles in achieving a multilateral convention to ban the manufacture, stock-piling, and use of chemical weapons; and the implementation of bilateral agreements with the U.S.S.R. on chemical weapons data exchanges, visits, and weapons destruction.
