|
| Technology does not win wars or make nations safe. The search for security is shaped by larger cultural, economic, and political factors and strategic choices. On the other hand, technology has always been the handmaiden of national security. Nations always look for innovations that can offer them competitive advantages over their adversaries. Innovation will always be a national security wild card. New technologies may unleash or accelerate social and cultural ... |

Discussion began with the changing relationship between the PLA and the Chinese people, and its effect on PLA recruiting efforts. While officially the PLA is the ... |

| Protecting maritime commerce from attack or exploitation by terrorists is critical to the future security of the United States. To address this challenge, the Heritage Foundation conducted a year-long project examining the foreign policy, economic, and defense implications of this issue. Our research suggests five critical proposals that must be on the agenda of the Bush Administration and Congress. These initiatives are essential to creating the kind of maritime security ... |

BAKER SPRING; HERITAGE FOUNDATION WASHINGTON DC
|
 | BY SEPTEMBER 14, 1996, THE SENATE WILL BE VOTING ON RATIFICATION OF THE CHEMICAL WEAPONS CONVENTION (CWC), A TREATY THAT WOULD BAN THE PRODUCTION AND STOCKPILING OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS. THE CWC CONTAINS SERIOUS SHORTCOMINGS. IT IS NEITHER RELIABLY VERIFIABLE NOR ENFORCEABLE. AS A RESULT, IT WILL NOT SERVE THE SECURITY INTERESTS OF THE UNITED STATES. BUT THE POTENTIAL DAMAGE FROM THE CWC IS NOT LIMITED MERELY TO NATIONAL SECURITY. IT ... |

| The Senate Should Block the White House's End Runs on the ABM Treaty |

| Authors:
Baker Spring; HERITAGE FOUNDATION WASHINGTON DC
|
| This report asserts that the Clinton Administration by refusing to submit new ABM Treaty agreements to the Senate for review raises questions about the intent and constitutionality of these actions. Also, it is suggested that all Senators regardless of their belief on the implications of these new agreements, should all agree that the refusal to submit them for Senate ratification violates their prerogative to review treaties. It is also argued ... |

| Authors:
HERITAGE FOUNDATION WASHINGTON DC
|
| After 17 months of tumultuous negotiations over the Pyongyang government's nuclear program, the United States and North Korea signed a detailed agreement in Geneva on October 21. The pact is a highly complex, three- staged, multilateral arrangement whose terms will not be fulfilled for many years. For the most part, the deal appears "front loaded" in favor of Pyongyang. A consortium of nations, led by the United States, is responsible ... |

HERITAGE FOUNDATION WASHINGTON DC
|
| President Clinton's performance in making defense policy has been dismal. His much-touted "Bottom-Up Review" (BUR) of U.S. defense requirements is dead. Practically everyone outside the Clinton Administration and even some senior officials within the Administration know that the Clinton five-year defense plan is hopelessly underfunded. Moreover, the President has not kept his promise to maintain the combat readiness of U.S. forces. Because of underfunding, troops are training less, equipment is ... |

|
| Notwithstanding recent diplomatic progress, the crisis on the Korean peninsula is not over. There is little doubt that the communist regime in Pyongyang intends to develop nuclear weapons, and may already have done so. The United States has been talking with the North Koreans for more than three years in an effort to convince them to permit international inspections of suspected nuclear weapons sites. Should these talks break down, the ... |

| This lecture is on the proliferation of nuclear arms. More precisely, it will be on how best to prevent the proliferation of nuclear arms. For as much as we in the policy community may disagree about the proper policies for preventing nuclear proliferation, I think all of us share the goal of preventing proliferation. The best prescription for preventing all sorts of proliferation- biological, chemical, missile, and space technology, as ... |

|
| Boris Yeltsin and George Bush agreed on June 17 to develop and deploy a jointly controlled global protection system against ballistic missile strikes. Three teams of Russian and American experts now are studying the Bush-Yeltsin idea, called the Joint Defense Program (JDP). The drive to develop a U.S.- Russian defense system, however, faces a formidable obstacle-the 1972 Anti- Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty, which prohibits not only the deployment of territorial ... |

|
| East-West arms control as it has been practiced until now borders on irrelevancy. The problems it set out to solve have been subject to a meta- solution that had little if anything to do with the arms control process: the collapse of the Soviet regime that for forty years propelled the arms race and kept the world on the edge of oblivion. Still, if recent events are reversed, the START ... |

|
| The backbone of the former Soviet Union was its military-scientific complex. Pampered and protected by the Soviet ancient regime, it remained largely intact as the empire and then the Union itself crumbled. Today the thousands of scientists, technicians, and bureaucrats of this vast weapons complex face drastically reduced funding and in many cases unemployment as Russia's democratic leaders turn their nation's resources away from weapons production and toward investment in ... |

| In televised speech to the Russian people on January 29, Russia's President Boris Yeltsin called for the United States and Russia to "create and jointly operate" a global defense system. One day earlier, in his State of the Union address, George Bush affirmed his own commitment to strategic defense, or SDI. Washington and Moscow now both are on record in favor of deploying defenses against missile attacks. Then late last ... |

| After years of effort by Ronald Reagan and George Bush, the United States and the Soviet Union finally are within sight of an agreement to replace or modify the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty to permit deployment of effective defenses against missile attacks. This may be the most important geostrategic development of the post-Cold War period. What is responsible for this? First, in a dramatic reversal of Soviet policy, Mikhail ... |

|
| The Persian Gulf War has changed the political backdrop for Congress's annual debate over funding of the Strategic Defense Initiative - or SDI. Live TV broadcasts and countless replays of deadly Scud missiles screeching over the skies of Israel and Saudi Arabia, and then Patriot missiles soaring up to destroy them, brought home to Americans, for the first time perhaps, that America needs effective defenses against possible missile attacks. No ... |
