Mendelsohn, J

December saw the release of two major reports on the future of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (ACDA). One, entitled New Purposes and Priorities for Arms Control,' was mandated by Congress and prepared by a panel of past and present government officials under the chairmanship of retired Ambassador James Goodby, former chief US delegate to the Conference on Disarmament in Stockholm. The report postulates two top priority objectives for US arms control efforts in the 1990s: eliminating the overarmament of the Cold War and fostering the nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The report also identifies two associated objectives: encouraging regional stability and the peaceful resolution of regional disputes, and establishing global norms for the control of arms.
