Arms Control and Disarmament Agency From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Redirected from US Arms Control and Disarmament Agency Jump to: navigation search Scud Missile The U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency ACDA ) was established as an independent agency of the United States government by the Arms Control and Disarmament Act (75 Stat. 631), September 26, 1961, a bill drafted by presidential adviser John J. McCloy . Its predecessor was the U.S. Disarmament Administration , part of the Department of State (1960-61). Its mission was to strengthen United States national security by "formulating, advocating, negotiating, implementing and verifying effective arms control nonproliferation , and disarmament policies, strategies, and agreements." In so doing, ACDA ensured that arms control was fully integrated into the development and conduct of United States national security policy. ACDA also conducted, supported, and coordinated research for arms control and disarmament policy formulation, prepared for and managed U.S. participation in international arms control and disarmament negotiations, and prepared, operated, and directed U.S. participation in international arms control and disarmament systems.

4. ENMOD And The US Congress Senator Pell asked the Assistant Director Davies of the US Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, who had led the US delegation during the negotiations with the Soviets http://www.sunshine-project.org/enmod/US_Congr.html

The Limits of Inside Pressure: The US Congress Role in ENMOD The US Congress played an important role influencing US policy on ENMOD. In the early 1970s the Senate and House conducted hearings on the use of the environmental a weapon of war. While Agent Orange and other herbicides were visible, mostly public manifestations of systematic environmental alteration, the Congress was instrumental in uncovering Operation Popeye, the top secret US weather modification program in Southeast Asia. A strong stand by several legislators was important convincing the Ford administration to negotiate. Sadly, some of the Congressional instigators of ENMOD, such as Claiborne Pell, were also used by successive US administrations. Pell and other treaty supporters had to swallow their disappointment in the troika and ENMOD's other weaknesses - some of which were introduced by the US - as they convinced their colleagues to ratify. Stockholm Wins a Congressman 1972 was a important year in the evolution of environmental law and consciousness. The landmark UN Conference on the Human Environment (Stockholm, June 1972) had an observable effect on the US Congress. Gilbert Gude, a Congressman from Maryland, was an observer on the US delegation. Gude was invited to the Senate to testify in July, 1972, a few weeks after returning from the Stockholm conference. Gude testified:

Bureau of Arms Control The Bureau of Arms Control is responsible for international agreements on conventional, chemical/biological, and strategic forces, treaty verification and compliance, and supporting ongoing negotiations, policy-making, and interagency implementation efforts. The Bureau of Arms Control leads efforts to negotiate new arms control agreements, primarily START III and other future strategic arms control agreements, and leads negotiating efforts in the Conference on Disarmament (CD) such as a cutoff of fissile material production and antipersonnel landmines. This Bureau also has the equally important task of implementing a large number of existing agreements, including ABM, INF, START I, CWC, and BWC, and of preparing to implement START II and CTBT. The Bureau has the U.S. lead for negotiations and policy development related to Confidence and Security-Building Measures (CSBMs), Open Skies, Dayton Article V negotiations, verification and information for European arms control, has responsibilities with respect to CFE Treaty issues, and participates fully in the Task Force on CFE under the Under Secretary.

6. Nuclear Files: Library: Biographies: John J. McCloy He negotiated terms for the resumption of EastWest disarmament talks and drafted a bill that led to the establishment of the US Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. http://www.nuclearfiles.org/menu/library/biographies/bio_mccloy-john.htm

Library Biographies John J. McCloy John J. McCloy John J. McCloy was born on March 31, 1895 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Harvard Law School in 1921 and practiced law on Wall Street. Perhaps his most important case, "Black Tom" was also the catalyst for his political career. In the "Black Tom" case, McCloy proved that German agents sabotaged a US munitions factory in New Jersey in 1916. After winning the law suit, he served as an advisor to every president from Franklin Roosevelt to Ronald Regean. He was appointed Assistant Secretary of War on April 22, 1941. By 1945, McCloy was spending most of his time working on issues involving postwar Germany. With the Secretary of War Henry Stimson's health failing, McCloy became increasingly involved in the War Department. McCloy was a key player in deciding whether or not to drop the bomb. He was one of the few Printer Friendly More on the Web Alsos Digital Library for Nuclear Issues civilians to know about the project. During a meeting on June 18, 1945, Truman approved the invasion of mainland Japan. McCloy pushed for an alternative diplomatic approach to achieve a Japanese surrender. He wrote, "everyone was so intent on winning the war by military means that the introduction of political consideration was almost accidental." On the advice of President Truman, McCloy took his ideas to Secretary of State James Byrnes, who rejected them. The Committee of Three, composed of Henry Stimson, James Forrestal, and Joseph Grew, was assigned by President Truman to explore alternatives to make Japan surrender. McCloy wrote a proposed surrender demand that was incorporated into Article 12 of the Potsdam Proclamation. The original draft of the Proclamation included language that would have allowed Japan to keep its emperor, a condition that would have greatly increased the chances of Japan's acceptance of surrender. After the atomic bombings, McCloy believed for the rest of his life that "we missed the opportunity of effecting a Japanese surrender, completely satisfactory to us, without the necessity of dropping bombs."

The Bureau of Nonproliferation gives a new emphasis to a broad range of efforts to curb proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, their delivery systems, and advanced conventional weapons. The Nonproliferation Bureau leads U.S. efforts to prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, chemical and biological weapons) and their missile delivery systems; to secure nuclear materials in the states of the former Soviet Union; and to promote nuclear safety and the protection of nuclear materials worldwide. It also leads U.S. efforts to promote responsibility, transparency, and restraint in international transfers of conventional arms and sensitive dual-use technology. The Bureau has primary responsibility for leadership in the interagency process for nonproliferation issues; leads major nonproliferation negotiations and discussions with other countries; and participates in all nonproliferation-related dialogues.

16. Military Spending The 1995 official Chinese budget was $7.5 billion, while the US Arms Control and Disarmament Agency estimated the actual number at $63.5 billion. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/china/budget-actual.htm

EMAIL (required) Military China's Defense Budget Estimated Actual Budget Future Spending Summary Table Join the GlobalSecurity.org mailing list Email: GlobalSecurity.org China's Actual Defense Budget On Thursday 04 March 2010 Beijing published China's 2010 defense budget. It totalled 532.115 billion yuan (about $77.9 billion at current exchange rates) or 7.5% more than last year. Chinese defense spending has increased by an average of 12.9% annually since 1989 when Beijing launched an ambitious army modernization program, and this was only the second year over that period in which annual growth was less than 10%. The actual level of effort is seriously understated, and may represent as much as $100-150 billion. China's legislature began its annual session Friday, 05 March 2010. The "actual" level of Chinese defense spending is hotly debated, and is probably not known with certainty to the Chinese authorities themselves. Analysis of China's defense budget is complicated by purchasing power parity disparities, the difference between costs in China and the cost of an equivalent item in other countries with higher standards of living. Perhaps two-third's of China's expenditures are for items, ranging from salaries to weapons systems, that cost a fraction of their equivalent American value. The publicly disclosed figures do not include major spending for weapons research and for the purchase of foreign weapons like the destroyers China bought from Russia. Actual military spending, including the large but difficult-to-assess off-budget financing portion, could total $65 billion, making China the second largest defense spender in the world after the United States and the largest defense spender in Asia.
