This volume focuses on the changing role of Congress with respect to various arms control issues-SALT, nonproliferation, arms sales, weapons procurement-and discusses such topical subjects as the role of secrecy in arms negotiations, the involvement of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in the arms control policy process, European perspectives on congressional involvement in defense issues. The authors, practitioners as well as scholars, contribute significantly to the literature on both arms control and the Congress.
