A the transformation that we have been seeing in the worlds Security environment opens the Way to consideration of new nuclear policies. That can bring us to a less nuclear less dangerous Era a retired army Gen. Andrew j. Goodpaster said.

As the russian and american strategic arsenals approach the size of those held by Britain France and China those nations should be added to the reduction negotiations. The nuclear Powers Goodpaster said also should Combine their efforts to prevent other nations from acquiring nuclear weapons. The Effort should take advantage of the scheduled 1995 renewal of the nuclear non proliferation agreement and should include the sort of International controls on technology that once restricted exports to the former soviet Union. If new nuclear nations arise the former nato commander said International barriers should be used to prevent them from using such weapons or threatening to do so. They would include diplomatic pressures economic sanctions conventional military action and ultimately nuclear deterrence. A if such weapons Are used or if their use is threatened a he said a the major nuclear Powers most notably the United states preferably in collaboration but acting alone if necessary should be prepared to defeat the use and destroy the nuclear capability swiftly and  an anti nuclear consensus Goodpaster said could be reinforced by the negotiation of nuclear free zones an end to production of weapons material a ban on testing continued research into defences against ballistic missiles and agreements against their use. A the moment is truly one of unprecedented Opportunity a he said. A major Steps can be taken that Are clearly in the Security interest of the United states and of the whole world.
