summary: The Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) will directly affect a 
significant number of private sector chemical producers, consumers and 
processors. The CWC imposes requirements on certain industrial 
facilities. Depending on the specific chemical, the CWC requires:
     Detailed reports of the quantities produced, processed, or 
consumed in your facilities;
     Detailed production plans and site (plant) information;
     Short-notice on-site inspections of industry facilities 
and records by international inspection teams.
    The key issues for U.S. chemical and related industry managers:
     Compliance with CWC Requirements;
     Protection of confidential/proprietary business 
information;
     Prevention of adverse publicity/controversy;
     Prevention of unnecessary costs/production disruptions;
     Inspection readiness;
     Schedule for implementation.
    The U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (ACDA) and the 
Department of Commerce (DOC) are sponsoring regional one-day seminars 
to explain the CWC, the domestic draft implementation legislation that 
is currently being reviewed by the Senate, and their significance to 
U.S. industry. You are invited to attend one of the following:
