Letter from June O'Neil, Director Congressional Budget office to Thomas Daschle including enclosure: IMPROVING RUSSIA'S ACCESS TO EARLY-WARNING INFORMATION: PRELIMINARY RESULTS 1 (September 1998)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo9843 and id is 1 raw text is: September 3, 1998 The Honorable Tom Daschle Democratic Leader United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Dear Mr. Leader: In response to your request of September 17, 1997, the Congressional Budget Office is examining the budgetary and security consequences of a wide range of nontraditional cooperative arms control measures that might improve nuclear security between the United States and Russia. As you requested, we are providing the interim results of the analysis. The enclosed document examines the security and budgetary implications of improving Russia's access to early-warning data to reduce the chances that Russia will launch a nuclear strike on the basis of erroneous information. The full scope of your request will be addressed in a forthcoming CBO study. Other measures examined in that analysis will include de-alerting nuclear forces, ensuring that Russian nuclear materials do not leave the country and that Russian scientists do not aid rogue nations, and enhancing the transparency of nuclear stockpiles and warhead dismantlement. If you wish further details on these results, we will be pleased to provide them. The CBO contacts are Geoff Forden for policy issues and Raymond Hall for costs. Sincerely, June E. O'Neill Enclosure
