Stemming the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their missile delivery systems - counterproliferation - is universally recognized as a significant national priority by all elements of the U.S. national security community. President Clinton, for example, emphasized in the National Security Strategy released in February of this year, that a key part of our strategy is to seek to stem the proliferation of such weapons and to develop an effective capability to deal with these threats. In May 1995, the National Military Strategy was issued by our nation`s senior military leader, General Shalikashvili, who described the threat of weapons of mass destruction as one of the ...four principal dangers which our military, in combination with other elements of national power must address.
