ABSTRACT

President Clinton has frequently stated that no greater threat than the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction confronts us as we enter the next millennium. As a government and a nation, we recognize that as these weapons spread, the risk rises that they may one day be used. President John F. Kennedy alluded to this desperate prospect when he announced the Limited Test Ban Treaty, warning of a potential time when none could rest, when danger would lurk in every corner of the world.
