(2) If a treaty banning the possession of chemical agents and
munitions is ratified by the United States, the date for completing the
destruction of the United States' stockpile of such agents and
munitions
shall be the date established by such treaty.
(3)(A) In the event of a declaration of war by the Congress or of a
national emergency by the President or the Congress or if the Secretary
of Defense determines that there has been a significant delay in the
acquisition of an adequate number of binary chemical weapons to meet
the
requirements of the Armed Forces (as defined by the Joint Chiefs of
Staff as of September 30, 1985), the Secretary may defer, beyond the

(j) Definitions
For purposes of this section:
(1) The term ``chemical agent and munition'' means an agent or
munition that, through its chemical properties, produces lethal or
other damaging effects on human beings, except that such term does
not include riot control agents, chemical herbicides, smoke and
other obscuration materials.
(2) The term ``lethal chemical agent and munition'' means a
chemical agent or munition that is designed to cause death, through
its chemical properties, to human beings in field concentrations.
(3) The term ``destruction'' means, with respect to chemical
munitions or agents-(A) the demolishment of such munitions or agents by
incineration or by any other means; or
(B) the dismantling or other disposal of such munitions or
agents so as to make them useless for military purposes and
harmless to human beings under normal circumstances.
(k) Operational verification
(1) Until the Secretary of the Army successfully completes (through
the prove-out work to be conducted at Johnston Atoll) operational
verification of the technology to be used for the destruction of live
chemical agents and munitions under this section, the Secretary may not
conduct any activity for equipment prove out and systems test before
live chemical agents are introduced at a facility (other than the
Johnston Atoll facility) at which the destruction of chemical agent \1\
and munitions weapons is to take place under this section. The
limitation in the preceding sentence shall not apply with respect to
the
Chemical Agent Munition Disposal System in Tooele, Utah.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------\1\ So in original. Probably should be ``agents''.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------(2) Upon the successful completion of the prove out of the
equipment

and facility at Johnston Atoll, the Secretary of Defense shall submit
to
the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the Committee on
Armed
Services of the House of Representatives a report certifying that the
prove out is completed.
(3) If the Secretary determines at any time that there will be a
delay in meeting the deadline of December 31, 1990, scheduled by the
Department of Defense for completion of the operational verification at
Johnston Atoll referred to in paragraph (1), the Secretary shall
immediately notify the Committees of that projected delay.
