Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation

Non-proliferation: the goal of the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation is to encourage a reduction in nuclear weapons and weapons-grade materials; to educate and inform congress and administration policymakers (directly and through policy amplification via media outlets) to lead toward legislative and budget actions that support that goal; to encourage appropriate support of efforts to halt proliferation and to negotiate reductions and secure and eliminate fissile materials worldwide. Center encourages diplomatic efforts over military responses whenever possible and feasible concerning relations with iran, north korea, russia, china, etc.

Congressional policy analysis and education outreach: the Center seeks to educate members of congress and their staff on global nuclear threats. Our long-term goal, working with the broader community, is to expand our educational efforts to all 535 offices in congress, leading to better informed legislators. Since the end of the cold war, congressional knowledge about nuclear threats has fundamentally diminished so by engaging with the countrys decision-making apparatus on a range of nuclear risks, we are able to fill this knowledge gap.
