=== > The Report: "The Future of Russian-US Strategic Arms Reductions:
START III and Beyond"

Dear Colleagues,
We have just published the report, which summarizes a joint U.S.-Russian meeting on the future of U.S. Russian nuclear arms reductions held in Cambridge, Mass. from February 2-6, 1998. The meeting was co-sponsored by the MIT Security Studies Program and the Center for Arms Control, Energy, and Environmental Studies at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.

For more information, please visit our web site at

I would appreciate if you can disseminate this information among other arms control experts as well.

Sincerely,
Eugene Miasnikov

=== > Suggestion by Hartwig Spitzer

I would like to forward to all WNII readers a suggestion recently made by the outgoing INES chair Hartwig Spitzer: Each INES member organisation should be asked: "What was the most important news in the development and work of your organisation in the last 6 months?" Answers, which should not be longer than 150 words, should be sent to me to be published in WNII.
I think this is a very good idea. Around 150 words should not be too much work. What DO YOU think of it? Looking forward to receive this kind of responses,

Tobias Damjanov

Editor, WNII
