From a Stanford web-posting by Ms. Woolf: "My career in nuclear weapons and… arms control began at Stanford, in classes on nuclear weapons and arms control. I continue to interact with the scholars and experts at CISAC. In addition, because I work for Congress, and truly understand how the U.S. government works, I get to step back and view the policy process with the perspective of a political scientist." "I work for the Congressional Research Service at the Library of Congress, providing expert information and analysis to Congress on issues related to U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons and arms control. I also speak to groups outside Congress, providing insights into the role that Congress plays in supporting U.S. nuclear weapons and arms control policies and in providing oversight and funding to U.S. nuclear weapons programs." This Issue Brief addressed arms control negotiations that had been on-going between the United States and Russia and former Soviet republics. Further limits on strategic offensive weapons were possible. Discussions on ballistic missile defenses, the safety and control of nuclear weapons, elimination of nuclear warheads and materials, and additional limits on nuclear testing were possible. These potential arms control initiatives raised several questions. These included questions about whether arms control in the future would consist of lengthy negotiations and detailed agreements or less formal, reciprocal actions taken by each country. Questions could also arise about the role of Congress in arms control if the United States and former Soviet republics did not sign formal agreements that required formal review and approval by Congress.
