Media Relations

The Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation is a Washington, D.C. based 501(c)3 non-profit policy organization that seeks the reduction and eventual elimination of nuclear weapons as a significant tool of U.S. national security policy. The Center covers numerous peace and security issues affected by proliferation of weapons of mass destruction including U.S. nonproliferation programs, national missile defense, failed and post-conflict states and irresponsible defense spending.

The Center provides concise and usable material to Members of Congress and their staff, and provides them with access to policy experts. These materials and expertise views are also available to the media and the public through our website and consultations.

To find out more about threats to peace and security and innovative solutions to these problems we encourage the media to contact any of our policy experts. Not only are they experts in the fields below, but they can provide additional guidance and reference for most national security issues. Anyone on our staff may be reached at our main telephone number, 202.546.0795, from 9:00am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday excluding Federal holidays.
