Front and Center February 16, to February 27 2015
FRONT & CENTER
An update on arms control, national security & politics from the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation.
WHAT’S NEW:
Analysis by Center Board Member Colonel Richard Klass appeared in Roll Call this week where he discusses the prospects for a final nuclear deal with Iran, in addition to the foreseeable—and dangerous—aftermath should the negotiations fail. Read the Colonel’s op-ed on our website.
Watch Policy Director Laicie Heeley on MSNBC’s “The Ed Show” as she discusses Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s upcoming visit and why it is simply not the right time for the foreign leader to address Congress and make his case against the ongoing negotiations with Iran.
This week, Policy Director Laicie Heeley lent her budget expertise as a featured guest for two briefings. Laicie teamed up with Women’s Actions for New Directions (click to watch the WAND webinar here) and the Physicians for Social Responsibility (click to watch the PSR webinar here) to highlight excessive Pentagon and nuclear weapons spending.

Center Senior Fellow John Isaacs was interviewed for an article in Bloomberg View this week where he shared his take on what securing an Iran deal might do for President Obama’s legacy, and what it means for his successor. Read what John had to say here. [2/27]
No Surprises About This Year’s High Risk List
On the Nukes of Hazard Blog, Sarah Tully reports on the Government Accountability Office’s 2015 “High Risk List.” Unsurprisingly, the Department of Energy’s contract management and weapons acquisition failures made the naughty list—again, as they have for the past 25 years. [2/19]
Scoville Fellow Greg Terryn and Research and Policy Associate Sarah Tully provide an in-depth analysis of the president’s Fiscal Year 2016 budget requests for Defense Nuclear Non-Proliferation (i.e., programs to stop the spread of nuclear weapons). Click here for an overview of how the FY 16 numbers stack up against previous years’ funding, click here for a breakdown of where the money went, or read an overview of both factsheets on the Nukes of Hazard Blog.
