We need updated information on the state and location of the materials." But there are no plans for a new survey, funds are tight and neighboring countries accuse each other of not sharing information. The Ecology and Foreign Affairs committees of Russia's State Duma held joint hearings on weapons in April 2002, then recommended a program of evaluation...
