See, e.g., Nuclear Risk Reduction Centers, Dep’t OF State, Bureau of Public Affairs, Gist, June 1987. See also, e.g., §706 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act for fiscal years 1986 and 1987 (which directs the Secretary of State and the Director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency to conduct a detailed study and evaluation of additional measures that, by contributing to crisis stability or crisis control capabilities, could both enhance the security of the United States and reduce the likelihood of nuclear weapons use, with specific consideration to be given to a number of listed possible measures).
