In addition, this volume focuses on the negotiation of arms control agreements; the ratification process of treaties by the Senate; the potential role and limitations of the Arms Control Disarmament Agency; and the prospects for arms control and nonproliferation in Europe. Contributors: Robert A. Strong, James E. Goodby, Sidney Graybeal, Patricia McFate, Paul H. Nitze, Major General William F. Burns, Michael Krepon, Janne Nolan, Duncan L. Clarke, and Jonathan Dean.
