Abstract: | Conclusion Arms control continues to be a key element of U.S. national security policy. Yet, to be a constructive part of our national
strategy, stringent arms control verification is required. Of late, the government has moved from agreements incorporating
effective monitoring methods to multilateral, feel-good agreements that are very difficult, if not impossible, to monitor.
Since the United States is not going to violate agreements, we could be placed at a long-term strategic disadvantage. |
