This report addresses an issue of critical importance to the national security interests of the United States. Is the United States now pursuing a well-conceived and effective program of cooperation with Russia in the disposition of those vast amounts of separated plutonium that have become excess to the nuclear weapons needs of the two countries? This report sets out the U.S. response to date, notes the challenges and difficulties facing both Russia and the United States, and outlines in detail those actions necessary if the safe, timely, and effective disposition of U.S. and Russian weapons-grade plutonium is to be realized. John Taylor is a consultant on nuclear power, having formerly held senior positions with the Nuclear Power Group at the Electric Power Research Institute and with Westinghouse Electric Corporation. Senator Pete V. Domenici (R-N.Mex.) is chairman of the Energy and Water Development Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee and vice chairman of the Energy Research, Development, Production, and Regulation Subcommittee of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Representative Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) serves on the House International Relations Committee and the House National Security Committee. Robert E. Ebel is director of the CSIS Energy and National Security Program.

The National Security Act of 1947, passed at the outset of the Cold War, represented the biggest change in the organization of the United States' national security apparatus since the birth of the Republic. Today the question arises whether the organizations created in 1947 are still relevant in the post-Cold War world. 
This book develops an intellectual and operational framework for national security policy planning and is intended to serve as a practical guide to much-needed structural reform based on today's changing missions, threats, and environment. The reforms proposed seek to create, through a more agile and accountable organization, the ability as well as the political and institutional imperative for the president to take the lead in forging a public consensus on security affairs.

In this comprehensive collection of essays, Simon Serfaty addresses the question of Europe's future and the new challenges to overcoming the ghosts of Europe's past. "Memories of Europe's Future" highlights the axes of discontent at home and arcs of crises abroad that may threaten European integration; examines the policies and institutions that have transformed modern Europe; and makes a powerful argument for the importance of Europe to the United States on the basis of compatible ideas and converging national interests. Now that the post-Cold War years are over, the critical question is whether the future will bring a resurrection of the worst features of a bygone era or a celebration of the best legacies of a more recent past. The future Europe, argues Serfaty, does not require a new vision of transatlantic relations. What will be needed on both sides of the Atlantic is the will to complete the bold policies that were launched during the postwar years half a century ago.

This volume details a possible derailment and train wreck in U.S. defense spending. Today the Department of Defense faces annual budget shortfalls of $100 billion--far more than the much discusses $5-$25 billion. If actions are not taken now to prevent this train wreck, future presidents and congresses will have little time to fix a disaster that will be far more costly than necessary. The authors argue that current DOD underspending is a sure paath to de facto demobilization and diminished capacity to influence world events and safeguard U.S. national interests.
