To establish a National and Nuclear Risk Reduction Center within the Department of State, and for other purposes.

This bill establishes a new National and Nuclear Risk Reduction Center within the U.S. Department of State to improve communication and coordination on arms control and international security matters. The center would operate a 24-hour government-to-government communications hub to handle notifications related to arms control agreements and confidence-building measures between the United States and foreign governments. Key provisions include translating urgent messages between agencies, advising on technical communication issues, and providing technical assistance to foreign partners on maintaining communication systems for security agreements. The center must maintain at least one linguist fluent in Mandarin Chinese and Russian who understands arms control technical matters to facilitate critical communications. The center will report directly to the Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security and will coordinate with other federal agencies through established liaison roles.
