Alexander Rumyantsev spoke to the media about the U.S-Russian ad hoc nuclear security commission's first report, which it recently submitted to U.S. President George W. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The report does provide for tighter security around nuclear facilities in Russia and the United States, as well as for improvements to monitoring systems, Rumyantsev said.
