US to Miss CWC Deadline: "USA Today has obtained a set of documents, dated 21 December 2004, stating that construction on CW disposal facilities in CO and KY won’t begin until 2011— five years after originally planned and too late to meet US obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention. A government source told AP on condition of anonymity that the two facilities would receive a combined $31 million per year over the next five years—far less than the combined 110 M they received this year."
