Karp, A

Observers of Third World security watch for new weapon systems that promise to make the poor the military equals of the rich. Ballistic missiles, which combine the nuclear weapon and precision-guided munition, are a disturbing possibility that warrants regulation of the flow of ballistic missile technology. It is imperative to have a policy delineating the risks involved with ballistic missiles as a basis for action and consistency and for working with other technology suppliers. The US should initiate discussions aimed at establishing a missile technology suppliers' regime before Third World countries actually deploy nuclear missiles.
