Description
A Congressional role in arms control is key to forging sustainable international agreements. However, other priorities on the legislative agenda prevent members of Congress from getting involved in arms control and related strategic stability issues. To remedy this, the Center for the Study of the Presidency & Congress (CSPC) will launch a series of salon dinners that bring together current Congressional leaders with former government officials and elected representatives with experience in diplomacy, arms control negotiations, and agreement ratification.Through these dialogues, and accompanying research by CSPC staff, this project will seek toreengage Congress in arms control measures, while also examining its formal and informal roles in foreign policy related to arms control, and applying historical lessons of Congressional leadership toresponding to today’s challenges.
