Stockholm, Sweden: The Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission, 2006. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. 227, [1] pages. Boxes. Abbreviations. Index. The Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission (WMDC) is established on an initiative by the late Foreign Minister of Sweden, Anna Lindh, acting on a proposal by then United Nations Under-Secretary-General Dhanapala. The Swedish Government invited Hans Blix to set up and chair the Commission. He presented the composition of the Commission to the public on 16 December 2003 and explained what he saw were major tasks for it. The Commission commenced its work against the background of more than a half-century's striving for non-proliferation, arms control and disarmament of weapons of mass destruction. While there has been much success and progress, there have been many difficulties and disappointments in recent years. The technical evolution and the access to knowledge have also reduced some barriers to the acquisition of weapons. The report of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission with the proposals on how to reduce as far as possible the dangers of weapons of mass destruction was presented to the UN Secretary-General and the international community on 1 June 2006.

Washington DC: U. S. Department of Energy, 2001. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. 217, [3] pages. Illustrations. Cover has some wear and soiling. The mission of the Office of Nonproliferation and Arms Control (NPAC) is to prevent proliferation, ensure peaceful nuclear uses, and enable verifiable nuclear reductions. NPAC provides a comprehensive approach to strengthen nonproliferation and arms control regimes, achieving its mission through four subprograms: International Nuclear Safeguards; Nuclear Controls; Nuclear Verification; Nonproliferation Policy. One of the gravest threats the United States and the international community face is the possibility that terrorists or rogue nations will acquire nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction (WMD). NNSA, through its Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation (DNN), works closely with a wide range of international partners, key U.S. federal agencies, the U.S. national laboratories, and the private sector to secure, safeguard, and/or dispose of dangerous nuclear and radiological material, and detect and control the proliferation of related WMD technology and expertise. The Office of Nonproliferation Research and Engineering, part of the National Nuclear Security Administration within the Department of Energy, conducts wide-ranging research for diverse end users at the federal and local level. As such, the Office faces a number of unusual challenges in determining how to best serve its users' needs within its budget. More

Washington, DC: GAO, 1994. quarto, 26, wraps, map, appendices, figure, table, notes The GAO reviewed the Army's Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP). The report discusses problems the program was having in helping to improve the emergency preparedness capabilities of the communities near chemical weapon storage sites. The GAO noted that "The Army has yet to fully identify the risks to civilian populations of a chemical accident in which agent crosses installation boundaries. As a result, communities lack guidance to help them prepare." More

Washington, DC: GAO, 1994. quarto, 32, wraps, map, figure, table, notes, appendices The GAO reviewed "the Department of the Army's disposal program for chemical munitions, materiel, and facilities that are not specifically included in the U.S. stockpile of unitary chemical weapons. These items are referred to as nonstockpile chemical warfare materiel and consist of binary chemical weapons, miscellaneous chemical warfare materiel, recovered chemical weapons, former chemical weapon production facilities, and buried chemical warfare materiel." The GAO found that "The Army's cost and schedule estimates, and its ability to complete the nonstockpile chemical disposal program, are likely to be affected by issues similar to those experienced in the stockpile disposal program. These include actions necessary to comply with federal, state, and local laws and requirements, obtain the necessary environmental approvals and permits, and address the strong public opposition to chemical weapons incineration."

GAO found that "Because of weaknesses in CSEPP's financial management reporting and internal control systems, Army and FEMA officials lack accurate financial information to identify how funds are spent or to ensure that program goals are achieved."
