Sec. 2551. Congressional statement of purpose
An ultimate goal of the United States is a world which is free from the
scourge of war and the dangers and burdens of armaments; in which the
use of force has been subordinated to the rule of law; and in which
international adjustments to a changing world are achieved peacefully. It is
the purpose of this chapter to provide impetus toward this goal by
addressing the problem of reduction and control of armaments looking
toward ultimate world disarmament.
The Secretary of State must have the capacity to provide the essential
scientific, economic, political, military, psychological, and technological
information upon which realistic arms control, nonproliferation, and
disarmament policy must be based. The Secretary shall have the authority,
under the direction of the President, to carry out the following primary
functions:
(1) The preparation for and management of United States
participation in international negotiations and implementation
fora in the arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament
field.
(2) The conduct, support, and coordination of research for arms
control, nonproliferation, and disarmament policy formulation.
(3) The preparation for, operation of, or direction of, United
States participation in such control systems as may become part
of United States arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament
activities.

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
