Joining CSIS in 2001, Murdock has completed studies on a range of defense and national security issues, including strategic planning, defense policy and governance, and U.S. nuclear weapons strategy and policy. He directed the four-phase study on Defense Department reform, Beyond Goldwater-Nichols: USG and Defense Reform for a New Strategic Era, which released reports in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2008. Murdock is currently leading several ?track two? dialogues on nuclear policy issues?one involving the United States, United Kingdom, and France, and the other involving the United States, South Korea, and Japan. He has completed studies on methodological approaches to building force-planning constructs and on nuclear posture implications of U.S. extended deterrence and assurance. He is the principal author of Improving the Practice of National Security Strategy: A New Approach for the Post?Cold War World and The Department of Defense and the Nuclear Mission in the 21st Century. He coauthored Revitalizing the U.S. Nuclear Deterrent and Nuclear Weapons in 21st Century U.S. National Security. Murdock taught military strategy & military innovation at the National War College. From 1995 to 2000, in the Office of the Air Force Chief of Staff, he was deputy special assistant to the chief for long range planning, he helped develop a strategic vision for the 2020 Air Force. Project Atom is a forward-looking, blue-sky review of U.S. nuclear strategy and posture in a 2025-2050 world in which nuclear weapons are still necessary. The report highlights and addresses the current deficit in national security attention paid to the continued relevance and importance of U.S. nuclear strategy and force posture, provides a new open-source baseline for understanding the nuclear strategies of other countries, and offers a credible, intellectually tested, and nonpartisan range of options for the United States to consider in revising its own nuclear strategy. Project Atom took a competitive strategies approach to its zero-based, ?blue-sky? review of U.S. nuclear strategy and force posture. Three independent think tank teams?the Stimson Center, the Center for a New American Security (CNAS ), and the National Institute for Public Policy (NI PP)?addressed the fundamental issues: ? What should U.S. nuclear strategy be for the new era, defined as 2025?2050? ? What U.S. nuclear posture is needed to support that strategy? Their analysis (which can be found in the appendices of this report) was unconstrained by current strategy (e.g., reducing the role of nuclear weapons in U.S. strategy) and current policy (e.g., the prohibition against new nuclear weapons or new nuclear capabilities), but was conducted within a common framework of assumptions about the future security environment, likely technological trends, and resource constraints. After leading the development of the common analytic framework and participating in the debate among the think tank teams, Clark Murdock drafted a recommended nuclear strategy and posture for 2025?2050, defended it at a half-day Project Atom working group meeting, consulted with additional experts, and drafted the study report. The competitive strategies approach, including the use of external (to the think tank teams) experts, was extremely helpful as he developed and refined the recommended nuclear strategy and posture.

Zustand: Good. Original hand written letter. Format for the letter is approximately 7.75 inches by 10.75 inches. Format for the envelop is approximately 5.5 inches by 3.5 inches. Letter has been folded to fit into the envelope. Envelope is from the Hotel Pennsylvania, New York. The letter was sent from Chile and has two canceled stamps, one for 20 centavos and one for 5 centavos. The letter is addressed to Mr. N. F. Murdock, Salisbury, North Carolina, Los Estados Unidos. This letter from mining engineer Thomas Glenn Murdock is to "My Dear Papa", and was dated June 30, 1927. At the time, he was working for the Anglo-Chilean Consolidated Nitrate Corp and he gave his father the address to reach him as that company, Mining Department, Cassilla 17, Tocopilla, Chile, S.A. This letter was written shortly after Murdock arrived to work in Chile. He stated "I was a little tired after being on the water so long but I am now completely rested up." He also stated "I like the job more and more every day and am getting along just fine with the language and can now say almost anything I want to in Spanish." He mentioned "Well next Monday is the 4th of July and there will be some kind of celebration. I dont know just what it will be like. There are a log of Englishmen here and so the celebration probably wont be a strong as it is back home. The mine is going to run, but that dont worry me as I only work 8 hours and after the hours I have been used to that is like a vacation. From an obituary published in the New York Times on January 4, 1971: Thomas Glenn Murdock had been since 1965 senior technical adviser in mineral exploration and mineral policy for the United Nations. In the last five years Mr. Murdock undertook missions to more than a score of countries. He was born in Hiddenite, N.C., served as a military engineer in World War I, graduated from the University of North Carolina and did post graduate work at the University of Alabama. Mr. Murdock was a mining engineer in Latin America for United States companies until 1939, when he became assistant geologist for North Carolina. In World War II he engaged in strategic mineral work for the United States in Brazil and Ethiopia. He joined the State Department in 1947 and served as Minerals Attaché for Africa, south of the Sahara. From 1961 to 1965 be was with the Bureau of Mines in Washington. Surviving were his widow, the former Graciela Murua, and a daughter, Lillie Paulita. It is not known when the family relocated from Hiddenite to Salisbury. The history of Guggenheim's nitrate enterprise in Chile from 1925 to 1932 provides a lesson about the transformation of Guggenheim's investments in Chile, as well as about the main problems that arose after the restructuring of the Guggenheim family business. Guggenheim's venture in Chilean nitrate production from the mid 1920s through its failure in 1934 constituted at first Guggenheim's most prominent foreign investment, subsequently the family's largest business failure as well as a staggering foreign collapse during the Great Depression. Guggenheim's disaster was closely intertwined with the Chilean government's foreign bonds default in 1931. Both these failures, the Guggenheim nitrate business, as well as the Chilean government default, worsened the depression in Chile and produced an independent economic downturn. The combined crashes likewise form a part of Chile's modernization crisis from 1931 onwards. Which were the main factors that determined the negative outcome of Guggenheim's Chilean venture'? A closer look at the history Guggenheim's Chilean nitrate investment suggests that Chilean government intervention in Guggenheim's venture, combined with the government's mismanagement of Chile's finances, constituted the chief dynamic factor for the decline of Guggenheim's Chilean business. Guggenheim Brothers acquired the Anglo-Chilean Nitrate and Railway Company and in addition to that further nitrate deposits in Chile. In 1924 the new holdings were transformed into the recently organized.
