This article outlines the United States proposal for a [open quotes]counterproliferation[close quotes] effort and the NATO response to the proposal. Official statements issued at the end of the January 1994 NATO summit in Brussels stressed unanimity, although serious differences in policy and process pervaded the summit. Ultimately, it appeared that NATO members are unwilling to participate--militarily or financially--in a U.S. plan to develop ballistic missile defenses against nuclear weapons. The author contends that the United States is sabotaging its policies on disarmament and proliferation by clinging to its nuclear and conventional weapon supremacy.
