Responding To The Challenge Of Proliferation

February 15, 2000
Arms Control Non-Proliferation
Clinton Administration Record on
Non-Proliferation

"President Clinton has led the effort to reduce the threat...from weapons of mass destruction. Over the past six years, the administration has made unprecedented progress in curbing the proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and the missiles that deliver them, in reducing the dangerous legacy of Cold War weapons' stockpiles and in promoting responsible conventional arms transfer policies."









Special Feature:
  The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty regime and its safeguards "have established a very strong global consensus against the spread of nuclear weapons."
  -- John Holum, Senior Adviser to the President and Secretary of State

    Eliminating Anti-Personnel Landmines

    "Almost four years ago, I called for the global elmination of landmines. Since then, the U.S. has been at the forefront of the efforts to rid the world of these hidden killers. Not only have we destroyed millions of landmines in our own arsenal and banned their export, but we have also provided a substantial share of the global resources for humanitarian demining."

    President Clinton on Global Humanitarian Demining





    Achieving A Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty (FMCT)

    "Let me stress that the United States has not given up on the negotiation of a ban on the production of fissile material for nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices.... Who can be against it? A cutoff in the production of fissile material will threaten no one. It will set in place...a cap, on the amount of nuclear weapons material in the world. How can we achieve reduced roles for nuclear weapons if we cannot even begin discussing a cap on their indispensable contents?"

    Former Arms Control and Disarmament Agency Director Holum on FMCT
