WASHINGTON, March 2 /U.S. Newswire/ -- President George W. Bush agreed today to a civilian nuclear cooperation deal with India that fails to match administration claims that it would be a net benefit for the global nonproliferation regime. Instead, the deal bows to the Indian nuclear bomb lobby's desire to reserve significant segments of the Indian nuclear complex for making nuclear weapons, the Arms Control Association says.
In the rush to meet an artificial summit deadline, the White House sold out core American nonproliferation values and positions. The so-called civil-military separation plan announced today is clearly not 'credible' from a nonproliferation standpoint as the Bush administration had promised it would be," said Daryl G.

WASHINGTON, May 18 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Today, U.S. officials submitted a proposal for a multilateral ban on fissile material production for weapons purposes to the 65-nation Conference on Disarmament in Geneva and said they believed negotiations could be achieved in a year. However, the proposal does not include a system to verify compliance making unlikely that key states will support it.
A global fissile material cutoff treaty (FMCT) can be verified and negotiators should work toward that end. By opposing verification measures and parallel discussions on arms control issues of importance to other states, Washington is undermining its own proposal," said Daryl G. Kimball, executive director of the nonpartisan Arms Control Association. "Still, it points to the importance of halting the ...

WASHINGTON, June 1 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Today, former UN weapons inspector Hans Blix presented UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan with a report recommending 60 steps for reducing global dangers posed by biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons. The nongovernmental Arms Control Association (ACA) welcomed the report as a crucial and compelling call to action for addressing the world's most deadly weapons.
Blix and the WMD Commission provide a much-need wake up call and a practical and balanced menu of options for effectively getting back to the business of eliminating biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons," said ACA Executive Director Daryl G. Kimball. "We urge the Bush administration not only to act on commission recommendations aimed at curbing the spread of WMD, but also to show great...

WASHINGTON, May 2 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Stanford physicist Sidney D. Drell today was announced as the latest recipient of the Heinz Award for Public Policy for his decades-long effort to reduce nuclear dangers.
With former Heinz Award honoree Ambassador James E. Goodby, Drell recently wrote a report urging the Bush administration to accelerate and expand its currently planned nuclear reductions to help lessen the reliance on nuclear weapons worldwide. The report, "What Are Nuclear Weapons For? Recommendations For Restructuring U.S. Strategic Nuclear Forces," was published last week by the Washington- based Arms Control Association (ACA).
