Washington DC: United States 1921. Presumed first edition/first printing. Wraps. Good. No dust jacket as issued. Cover has some wear soiling and fraying at the edges. 11 p. This is extremely rare. Arlington National Cemetery has been described as the most sacred ground in the United States. Within that hallowed ground perhaps there is no place more sacred than the Tomb of the Unknowns. This is the program from the first internment of a soldier killed during the First World War. It is difficult to imagine today the emotion surrounding this event which was attended by the President and Vice President General Pershing many members of Congress and foreign dignitaries. The casket was moved in a procession from the Capitol to the Amphitheater. President Harding gave an address and then decorated the casket with the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Cross. Representatives of Belgium the United Kingdom France Italy Roumania Czechoslovakia and Poland each bestowed high decorations on the Unknown Soldier. United States paperback

Cover has slight wear and soiling. The report examines the whole range of consequences for proliferation of weapons of mass destruction of the Soviet Union's breakup and describes how U.S. assistance may reduce specific proliferation risks in the former Soviet Union. This report the fifth publication from OTA'S assessment on the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction examines the whole range of consequences for proliferation of the Soviet Union's breakup. One effect may be the erosion of international nonproliferation treaty regimes. In spite of the continuing desire of most of the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union to support nonproliferation goals these states face internal challenges: social and economic disruption are rampant and the degree of central governmental control over activities nominally within their jurisdictions is often questionable. Of particular concern are economic hardship and low morale among many individuals with access to vital weapon information or sensitive facilities--a situation aggravated by inadequate national systems to account for and secure nuclear materials to control exports and to police borders. The Office of Technology Assessment OTA was an office of the United States Congress from 1972 to 1995. OTA's purpose was to provide Congressional members and committees with objective and authoritative analysis of the complex scientific and technical issues of the late 20th century i.e. technology assessment. It was a leader in practicing and encouraging delivery of public services in innovative and inexpensive ways including early involvement in the distribution of government documents through electronic publishing. Its model was widely copied around the world. Princeton University hosts The OTA Legacy site which holds "the complete collection of OTA publications along with additional materials that illuminate the history and impact of the agency". On July 23 2008 the Federation of American Scientists launched a similar archive that includes interviews and additional documents about OTA. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1993. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Very good. vii 1 123 1 pages. Illustrations. Footnotes. Index. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Since the end of the Cold War the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction has become much more prominent in U.S. national security and foreign policy planning. Revelations about Iraqi North Korean South African and Israeli nuclear weapon programs the possibility of a nuclear arms race in South Asia and the multidimensional conflicts in the Middle East all point to the immediacy of this problem. At least three main factors underlie this renewed emphasis on proliferation. First the reduced military threat from the former Soviet Union has increased the relative importance of lesser powers especially if armed with weapons of mass destruction. Second certain international political and technological trends are increasing the threat to international security from proliferation. Third new opportunities are opening for enhancing the current international regimes designed to stem proliferation. Since at least as far back as the 1960s the United States has recognized that proliferation is a global problem and combating it requires high levels of international cooperation. This country has also exerted unilateral influence to discourage proliferation. Nevertheless placing priority on nonproliferation will require the further development and enforcement of international norms and behavior supporting that objective.
