We present a general theory of weak processes involving neutrinos which consistently incorporates the possibility of nonzero neutrino masses and associated lepton mixing. The theory leads to new tests for and bounds on such masses and mixing. These tests make use of (..pi..,K)/sub l/2 decay, nuclear ..beta.. decay, and ..mu.. and tau decays, among others. New experiments at SIN and KEK to apply our tests are mentioned. We further discuss some implications for: (1) the analysis of the spectral parameters in leptonic decays to determine the Lorentz structure of the weak leptonic couplings; (2) fundamental weak interaction constants such as G/sub ..mu../, G'/sub V/, f/sub ..pi../, f/sub K/, F/sub u/q, q = d or s, m/sub W/, and m/sub Z/; and (3) neutrino propagation.
