To commend the President for the conventional arms reduction initiative announced in Brussels on May 29, 1989, and to require the President to submit to Congress a report on the foreign policy and military implications of further reductions by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and Warsaw Pact alliances in the levels of conventional military forces in Europe.

Summary

Commends and supports the President's arms initiatives announced in Bussels in May 1989, under which the President proposed that NATO expand its position in negotiations on conventional force reductions in Europe to include substantial reductions by each side to equal ceilings of helicopters and combat aircraft and a reduction to a common ceiling of U.S. military personnel in Western Europe and Soviet military personnel in Eastern Europe. Directs the President to report to the Congress on the foreign policy and military implications to NATO and to the Warsaw Pact of significant reductions of conventional forces to a ceiling which is the same for both sides. Requires the report to be prepared under two different scenarios: one assuming a 25 percent reduction in NATO levels of personnel and troops and the other assuming a 50 percent reduction in such levels.
