Date
Dec. 12, 2024
Duration
24 months
Description
Despite the key role of Congress in foreign and national security policy, congressional Members and aides do not always come to Capitol Hill familiar with the complexities of international relations. Knowledge about nuclear weapons in particular has been eroding as rhetoric about their possible use continues to intensify. This disparity has heightened the need for lawmakers who are informed about national security and nuclear issues. To expand congressional knowledge on nuclear-relevant issues, the Center for Arms Control and Non-proliferation (CACNP), led by former Congressman John Tierney, conducts bipartisan and bicameral off-the-record briefings and other programs for Members and staffers by experts. The briefings are tied to current events, to maximize their relevance for those on the Hill who seek real time insights on unfolding developments.
