Report of the Presidential Advisory Board on Arms Proliferation Policy

Abstract

[Section 1601 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (P.L. 103-160) required the establishment of a five-member Presidential Advisory Board on Arms Proliferation. This Board was tasked by Congress to conduct a study of the "(1) factors that contribute to the proliferation of strategic and advanced conventional military weapons and related equipment and technologies, and (2) the policy options that are available to the United States to inhibit such proliferation." The Board, composed of the five authors identified above, was appointed by President Clinton on 20 January 1995, and in mid-July the Board published the report of its study, which is reprinted below. The RAND National Defense Research Institute provided research support to the Board, and RAND has published a companion study to that of the Board, entitled Arms Proliferation Policy: Support to the Presidential Advisory Board.
