4. US Arms Control Policy
John D. Holum, senior adviser for arms control and international security at the US Department of State, told the Symposium on Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy that efforts to reduce the threat of nuclear weapons under the Nonproliferation Treaty are making slow, but steady progress. Holum argued, "The unavoidable reality ... is that arms control is a process in which painstaking negotiations are often an essential part of achieving an effective and verifiable outcome. Moreover, intermediate steps are the engines of progress."

William Walker argues that the nuclear arms control community has been disoriented by the shift in posture of the US away from arms control. He discusses how other governments can deal with problems of nonproliferation in a unipolar world.
