Transforming the U.S. Strategic Posture and Weapons Complex for the Transition to a Nuclear-Weapons-Free World


Date: 8 Apr 2009

Place: Washington, United States

Description: The Nuclear Weapons Complex Consolidation Policy Network, supported by the Connect U.S. Fund, releases "A New Strategic Posture for the United States and a Nuclear Weapons Complex to Support it." Report authors and contributors, including physicist and former White House OMB budget examiner Dr. Robert Civiak will summarize major recommendations and findings.

Following that briefing, senior researchers from the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Federation of American Scientists will discuss the conclusions of a new joint report, "From Counterforce to Minimal Deterrence: A New Nuclear Policy on the Path Toward Eliminating Nuclear Weapons."

Christopher Paine, Nuclear Program Director at NRDC, will moderate the session, which will include an opportunity for Q & A and interviews with the reports' authors. Both reports are being released as the congressionally-appointed Commission on the Strategic Posture of the United States releases its report.
